There’re about a million different ways that are thought to be the BEST way to ‘get healthy’ and ‘achieve your ideal body’. Regardless of all the information out there that’s accessible to you, it can be insanely overwhelming to a person trying to find out what’s best for THEM. Today I want to help you figure out if Tracking Your Macros is Right For You. 

Because a great deal of the advice is conflicting and despite all the research out there, the attention-grabbing/non-factual information still somehow makes its way through it all. This sadly creates a more than ideal environment for companies to make empty promises that there is some magical weight-loss secret only they have the answer to. Fat loss pills, some tea that melts away all of your fat (cue the eye roll), wraps that magically make you skinny, the list goes on and on.

Knowledge is power!

And the diet industry thrives on misinformation.

Food is meant to be consumed with the intention of feeding your mind, body and spirit well. Yet very few people are actually eating a well balanced diet that isn’t attached to emotion, or unhealthy habits. This reality is why I want to help so many others learn How to Have a Healthy Relationship With Food. Here are my 5 tips to help you in changing that!

1. Start practicing intuitive eating

People who have a steady ongoing healthy relationship with food most likely have intuitive eating down by nature. They may not even know what it is because it’s now an innate behavior.

Intuitive eating means that when you’re hungry you eat, and you stop once you feel satisfied. It allows you to go about your day freely not having to fixate your entire life around food. When you have this relationship with eating you don’t allow outside influences to dictate what time you eat, or what types of food you eat.

Is it all it’s cracked up to be. The answer may be no.
