Remember back in the day when weight loss programs were all about counting calories? When the only thing anyone cared about was creating a calorie deficit?

Thank goodness those were the good old days because if you are still counting calories or you are in a weight loss program that tells you the “bottom line” is about creating a calorie deficit all I can say is come to the light.

My goal for you is to transform the way you think about food and fitness so as to not only lose fat, but also to ENJOY food as fuel to empower effective exercise in order to live strong and well for the time we are given.

No counting calories necessary. So what do we track instead? I talked all about the power of tracking macronutrients in this post, and you can download the podcast episode below for later!

4 Macro Food List Cheat Sheets

Macronutrients (or macros) are the main nutrients that fuel our body and fall into 3 main categories – carbs, fat, and protein.

We track macronutrients because the calorie is not created equal.

A sweet potato, for example, is approximately the same amount of calories as a handful of pretzels and yet the nutrient density of the two is incomparable.

Sweet potatoes contain:

beta carotene
Vitamin C
Potassium
Manganese
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B5
Vitamin E
fiber
Chlorogenic acid
Anthocyanins

A handful of pretzels contains:

fiber,
iron,
zinc
folate

If they have been enriched, that is.

The point is this.

We need to retrain our minds to think differently about food (it was meant to be enjoyed!!) and equip our bodies to metabolize food in such a way that improves not only external fat loss but the visceral fat that lines our organs and arteries.
