All About Investing - Part 1

Are you someone who dreads stepping on the scale? 

 Do you find yourself feeling anxious or stressed about what the numbers might say? 

 Don’t worry. You're not alone.

 In this repeat episode, I talk about the fear and anxiety that often comes with weighing ourselves. I share my top tips for shaking your negative relationship with the scale and how you can use it as a tool to effectively measure your progress.

 The scale impacts people negatively at times. However, keep in mind that it is not something that should make or break how you feel.

 No magic number increases your confidence and self-esteem.

 In fact, over time you may find that the scale goes up but you have a better body composition (leaner, more muscle).

 Tune in to learn how to make peace with the scale and focus on your over all health and well-being.

Stop Fearing The Scale

Are you constantly comparing your dieting calories to those of others, wondering why they seem to be able to eat more and still lose weight?

 This topic keeps on popping up in my DMs and most people get stressed over it. I get a lot of questions and messages about comparing their dieting calories to other people's.

 In this I episode I address why you shouldn't compare your calories and macros to a fitness influencer or an advanced person on the internet and discuss:

 - Examples of my clients and how their responses to dieting have varied greatly - How some people can easily stay lean year-round while others struggle - Why you shouldn't compare your calories to other people's - The role of metabolic adaptation and different metabolic types - Approaches to aggressive deficits for those who need them

 Remember, just because someone has different calories and macros from you doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. Everyone is different. You just have to do what works for you!
