The mistake I made that held me back for years

By

One of the BIGGEST mistakes I made in terms of weight loss was focusing solely on calories in and calories out.

In this day and age, it sounds silly, right? Like, how could our bodies be so simplistic?

It’s funny looking back at what I used to eat… Light ‘N Fit yogurt, Fiber One Bars, 100-calorie snack packs. I thought I was being “healthy” because I was eating low-calorie foods, but my body was seriously lacking quality nutrition, and, honestly, I was just filing it with artificial junk.

I know I’m not the only one who’s been “tricked” by diet culture into thinking that in order to lose weight and feel good, we must eat low-calorie. And it doesn’t end there! Diet culture also tells us to:

  • Limit carbs
  • Avoid sugar
  • Intermittent fast
  • Drink green juice
  • Load up on protein
  • Give up grains and gluten
  • Go Keto
  • Become vegan
  • Carb cycle

Basically, diet culture tells us to do what worked for somebody else, but here’s why this doesn’t work: It forces us to follow someone else’s plan without checking in with what works for our bodies and lifestyle.

We think we’re supposed to follow in someone else’s footsteps to get results, but that’s just not the case. What works for one person, might be detrimental for another.

I mean, totally cutting sugar from my diet might actually kill me! Kidding. Kind of. I would be very unhappy. Plus, eliminating treats from my diet is definitely NOT sustainable for me.

The 6-week Macro Motivation Challenge will teach you how to stop dieting and create a nutrition plan that works for YOU. Dialing into what works (and doesn’t work) will help you get results because you’ll find consistency and flexibility with your eating habits.

Long story short, if you can’t see yourself eating a certain way forever, it’s really difficult to maintain lasting results. Period.

Learning to tracking macros is something you can use forever. You don’t have to track every single day for the rest of your life, but it’s a tool that you can rely on now and in the future.

The 6-week Macro Motivation Challenge includes: 

  • Personalized macro + calorie goals for workout and rest days
  • 2-week sample meal plan
  • Weekly group accountability and education
  • Ongoing support and communication via private Facebook group
  • “Getting Started with Macros” guide

What’s not included: 

  • 1:1 coaching
  • Formal check-ins
  • Macro adjustments, but I’m more than happy to help you troubleshoot in our Facebook group!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
