57: Why counting calories or macros isn’t the secret to health


Listen Later

Do you feel like you are doing all the "right" things but you can't seem to lose weight. You are counting calories or counting macros - never straying from the plan - and yet nothing seems to be happening.

If it feels like your body is fighting against you when you try to lose those last few kilograms, it’s because of your body IS fighting against you. 

This used to be Lyndi. When she was a dieter, she punished herself to try and look better in a bikini. She wasted time wondering why she was gaining weight even though her food consumption was perfectly calculated. 

It made everything harder… But not anymore.

Because through learning about intuitive eating, she discovered the real secret to health.

Just take a handful of almonds!

Don’t count them. In fact, you don’t need to count anything including macros, points and calories. It’s soul sucking and makes healthy eating painful. You can only count for so long before you feel deprived. 

You don’t want to spend the rest of your life counting… you just want to be able to eat and enjoy and be happy. 

Count the things you should be grateful for. Way more effective. 

📘Have you tried a bajillion diets, only to regain the weight (and more)? It’s likely that diet culture is keeping you stuck in this vicious cycle, full of empty promises and failed attempts.
