Fit Me Forever Podcast

In today's episode we peel some layers back and get a bit personal.

Navigating life’s struggles and exciting events can make keeping your health at a priority a challenge. WE GET IT! This is exactly why we share what we do today. 

We get personal about the changes each of us has embraced this past year…the real, the beautiful, the tough, and sometimes raw.

No doubt, change usually involves others.

Whether it’s a new spouse, pregnancy, a new baby, raising a family, graduations, celebrations, friendships, career choices, health matters, aging parents…

In this episode we discuss:

• Our personal journeys this past year
• Our own struggles with perfectionism
• How different responses lead to different actions in different seasons
• How lifestyle habits can take attention off food, dieting, and your body
• And ultimately how to keep the big picture of life in FOCUS
• How you too can navigate nutrition and fitness in the midst of real life.

Will you let a Fit Me Forever lifestyle guide whatever change you face, so you can focus on real living?

In today's episode we are discussing allll of the details about Counting Macros vs Eating Intuitively.

‘Eating Intuitively’ is all the rage right now. And while we think it’s awesome, there are some challenges to be aware of before this can be the ‘end all-be all’ way of eating.

Intuition is a noun; meaning:

1. “the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.”
2. “an ability to understand or know something without needing to think about it or use reason to discover it.”

Interesting right?

Can you imagine being able to EAT without needing to think about it?

Here's a few points that we cover today:

• What can you learn from counting Macros or following structured eating plans?
• How is intuition developed?
• Which is better: Macro Counting or Intuitive Eating?
• How do I know which way of eating is better for me?

In today's episode we are talking about how you don’t have to count Calories [or Macros] to be successful. At first this topic might make you feel relieved. You might also have some feelings of resistance arise, asking yourself things like, "how is someone supposed to lose fat without knowing what they're putting in their body?"

So often women share with us their frustration with feeling like they won’t make progress if they don’t track every morsel that they eat. GOOD NEWS, that isn’t true and that’s exactly why we wanted to share this content with y’all. 

Here's a few points that we cover today:

• What is the difference between portioning vs measuring?
• What can you learn from counting Calories?
• What do you eat if you DON’T count all the things?
• Are food labels really accurate? (this one will surprise you!)
