7 Reasons Why Macro Counting "Doesn't Work" for You


Listen Later

Marco counting is what healed my relationship with food. It opened me up to this whole new word where I didn't need to deprive myself of food. I no longer needed to eat as little as possible, avoid my favorite foods, and completely cut food groups out of my daily food intake. I finally stopped feeling confused about WHAT I should and shouldn't be eating, or confused about HOW MUCH I should and shouldn't be eating. I could sit down each day and properly fuel my body without the stress, without wondering if I was "doing it right", without feeling guilty or having to punish myself. If you can relate to any of these feelings, then I highly suggest trying macro counting. But here's the thing: I talk to so many woman who have a poor relationship with food and are constantly dieting and they say, "Macro counting didn't work" for them. Whenever I hear someone say that, I know there needs to be more to the story than the mere fact that macro counting didn't work. So if you, too, feel like macro counting isn't working for you or you are struggling with it now, let me share a few reasons WHY and solutions for each. What I discuss:
  1. You're not being honest with yourself about what you're eating and how much you are eating.
  2. You're not being consistent enough.
  3. You're not giving it enough time.
  4. Your macro goals aren't accurate.
  5. You deprive yourself too much.
  6. You're not cycling through the four phases of macro counting.
  7. You don't listen to your body.
