The Productivity Mistake You’re Making at Lunch

In this episode, I sit down with Karin “Kaz” Littleton — nutritionist and founder of KazLit Nutrition — to explore something we don’t talk about enough when it comes to time and productivity: how we fuel ourselves. Together, we unpack the connection between food, energy, and focus — and why pushing through your day on coffee, snacks, or skipped meals might be the very thing holding you back. Karin shares simple, practical ways to support your energy without overcomplicating things — and why stepping away from your desk to eat isn’t indulgent… it’s strategic. Join us as we discuss: -Why skipping meals impacts your focus and decision-making -The real reason behind the 3pm energy slump -Why “busy” habits like eating at your desk aren’t helping -How to stabilise your energy with simple, balanced meals -Letting go of food rules and making nutrition feel easier If you’ve ever felt tired, foggy, or like you’re pushing through your day on empty, this conversation will help you rethink how you approach food, energy, and productivity. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Welcome & introduction 1:20 Karin’s journey into nutrition 4:00 Why food wasn’t always on her radar 6:00 Why lunch matters more than you think 8:00 What happens when you skip meals 10:00 Eating at your desk — harmless or not? 12:00 The importance of stepping away (even briefly) 14:00 Simple meals that actually fuel you 16:30 Decision-making, energy & brain function 18:30 Why breaks improve productivity 20:00 Common food patterns that lead to exhaustion 22:00 Keeping nutrition simple (and sustainable) 24:00 Letting go of food rules and diet stress 26:00 Coffee, sugar & quick energy hits explained 28:00 Finding what works for your body 30:00 One simple shift to improve your energy this week 👉 Where to find Karin: www.kazlitnutrition.com 👉 Looking to optimise your time?
