Imagine this:<\/strong><\/p>

You don\u2019t need a pick-me-up snack or double shot to push past the 3 p.m. slump.\u2063<\/p>

You feel strong in your workouts and you impress your coaches!\u2063<\/p>

You are confident in the way you eat! You know it\u2019s supporting you (you see it and feel it!), not holding you back from seeing results. \u2063<\/p>

You don\u2019t feel like you need to \u201cearn\u201d your food and embrace the fact you need fuel for your body. \u2063<\/p>

\u2063You eat a wide variety of foods that you love and don\u2019t feel limited by lists of \u201callowed\u201d foods. \u2063<\/p>

\u2063These are just some of the common benefits my clients experience after learning a macros approach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Wanda was the girl who felt like she could eat whatever she wanted as long as she was training for a race. She convinced herself that she had to \u201cearn the carbs,\u201d so you can imagine the off season, and eventually, off-days, looked pretty low-carb and low-calorie. She felt shame and guilt for losing control and overeating, but there were times she simply couldn\u2019t fight the cravings and hunger! \u2063<\/p>

\u2063After diving into a macros approach and learning exactly how much food she needed to be eating to fuel for and recover from her training, Wanda no longer oscillates between undereating and overeating. She said\u00a0 \u201cgoodbye\u201d to the workout day and rest day versions of her diet and \u201chello\u201d to faster race times, quicker recoveries and a leaner, stronger body.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

You can picture my face when she told me her trainer prescribed a very low-carb diet capped at 1200 calories and said \u201chunger is the symptom of fat loss\u201d and that \u201cit\u2019s working\u201d and to just \u201ckeep going\u201d with her 6 sometimes 7 day-a-week workout schedule.\u00a0Between years of apple cider vinegar, ketone pills, and appetite suppressants, it a while for us to rework the fundamentals of properly fueling her body so her because she was bogged down with misinformation from people she trusted! \u2063<\/p>

\u2063Mary would tell you she wouldn\u2019t even recognize that old version of herself anymore. She\u2019s eating 2-2.5 times as much as her old trainer had advised and properly supporting her metabolism, hormones and active lifestyle. She\u2019s developed a strong, fit physique all without chastising herself for \u201covereating\u201d.\u2063<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If her coach gave her a calorie goal or a meal plan, she made up her mind to commit to it. But, when she plateaued with weight loss she was left frustrated and confused. The thought she just must be \u201cdoing it wrong\u201d and answer was simply to get more strict and restrictive. Each time, her \u201callowed\u201d food list got smaller and smaller because her stomach couldn\u2019t seem to tolerate different foods – what gives! \u2063<\/p>

Dana is done with and will never go back to a cookie cutter plan again! At 5\u20199\u201d, of course she needed personalized macronutrient recommendations! She is eating more than she ever has in her adult life and effortlessly maintains a stronger, leaner and fitter body composition as a result. Strict and restrictive only led to digestive issues but with more calories and variety, her body healed itself from the inside. \u2063<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
