Summary

Trying to lose weight? Or, maybe you want to get more toned? Let me guess...you're counting your calories to help you get there, right? 

Alright sister, if you're in that weight loss or trying to tone up mindset, I know you're also probably in that "I need to count every calorie" mindset. That's why in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I want to chat with you about why calories aren't what you should be focusing on and why macros are so much more important. 

If you loved this episode, you will also love episode 19: What Happens When You Don't Eat Enough.

In this episode I give you a deep understanding as to why eating less cause way more problems than you realize and doesn't actually help you lose weight.
