5 Issues with Calorie Counting You Need to Know About

I have a question for you...  When you’re at the grocery store popping things into your cart, do you turn the box or bag or package over to the nutritional facts, look at the calories per serving ONLY and then decide whether or not to toss it into your cart?  Do you add up the number of calories you eat a day without paying attention to the amount of protein, fat, and carbs you eat? Is it your goal to eat as few calories a day? And do you think that eating less will help you finally reach your goals?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, sister, I have news for you. Counting calories and calories only are extremely flawed and will not help you reach ANY sort of goal you have. And honestly, it will end up doing way more harm than good.  And in this episode of the Embrace Your Real podcast, I’m going to explain to you WHY. I actually have five things in particular that I want to share with you that explain why calorie counting is not the solution for reaching your body goals.  P.S: If you want to play around with macro counting, but aren’t sure if you 100% want to commit yet, I have a free macro counting ebook that helps you calculate your starting macros.  I would LOVE to challenge you to download this ebook and try macro counting for AT LEAST 1-2 weeks and see how you feel. Maybe its even just counting your macros for breakfast and lunch for 1-2 weeks, that’s okay.  If you trying to change your body composition and are struggling, then please, please, please, take me up on this challenge. You will see results in just those 1-2 weeks.  You can get this free ebook by heading over to juliealedbetter.com/free-ebook.  If you loved this episode, then you'll also love...  Episode 18: What Happens When You Don’t Eat Enough.
