As a nutrition coach, a lot of my clients struggle with losing weight. Through our chats and check ins a lot of them come to realize they often eat out of habit, boredom or stress. This undoubtedly makes it a lot harder to make and maintain their progress which is why I ask a lot of them to create their own hunger charts to use as a check in before eating. It isn't about restricting food, but instead making sure that when you are reaching for food it's out of hunger and not habit or boredom.

One way of meal prepping that can save you time, money and prevent you from eating the same thing every day!

As a nutrition coach a lot of clients come to me after years of unsuccessful dieting. They lose weight and regain it over and over. I get how frustrating this can be. Which is why making sure your approach to weight loss, nutrition and fitness is sustainable and a lifestyle. If you lose weight and feel better doing A, B and C you can't expect to maintain that progress when you stop doing A, B and C, and yet that's what most of us do.

Before you know if we've stopped doing everything that's made us feel better and more confident and we're back at square one feeling like a bit of a failure. Listen to this podcast if you're ready to make lifestyle changes and decrease your chances of regaining the weight you lose and progress you make!

I like to think I'm someone that eats intuitively. But I also think I use a lot of information from tracking macros to, "eat intuitively". And that prior to tracking macros, my "intuition" about what I could and should eat was greatly impacted by things I'd been told or read...even if they weren't quite true.

Does anyone remember when a lot of us were eating nuts to get protein in? I think this is the perfect example of how our eating can be impacted by something we hear. And while i've got nothing against nuts. PB is my jam (lol!). After tracking macros I learned that while nuts do have some protein, they're a better source of healthy fats than protein. Sure I can get 30 grams of protein from peanut butter...but I'm going to have to eat 600-700 calories to do it.

Counting calories and tracking macros isn't for everyone! Especially, if you've struggled with disordered eating or are trying to heal your relationship with food.

While I do think tracking can be helpful for a lot of people, I don't think it's something that's sustainable forever. I personally use the knowledge I have from tracking every day to make informed decisions about my eating. But I also use strategies like above to help me maintain my weight and include foods I love regularly.

One of the most common questions I get is about fat loss. Can you target fat loss? How do I get rid of stubborn belly fat? Curious? Listen now!

My two cents on how to have a healthy relationship!

In a world where there is so much information out there about what to eat & how to train, it can actually be confusing knowing where to start. Listen to a bit about how I got started and what I recommend to my personal nutrition coaching clients in order to set them up for success.
