Calorie tracking your calories and macros initially in the beginning can be a really good short-term education tool for somebody to actually understand what is in their food, because I do think that's important. That's great, but we don't need to do it Every Single Day for Years and Years and Years on end.
Ever thought calorie counting was the golden ticket to weight loss? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of The Chase Life Podcast, hosts Rachel and David Godfrey dive into why this common dieting practice can actually backfire, leading to binge eating and an unhealthy relationship with food.
Rachel, with her extensive background in female fat loss, and David, a specialist in emotional and behavioral change, team up to shed light on how tracking every bite can foster perfectionism and an all-or-nothing mindset. This isn't just theory—it's a reality many face. They discuss how the stress of calorie counting can spiral into more control issues, ultimately resulting in destructive eating behaviors. Instead of falling into this trap, Rachel and David offer practical alternatives.
They suggest using calorie tracking as a short-term educational tool rather than a lifelong strategy. The key takeaway? Trust yourself and make adjustments based on your body's needs rather than rigid numbers. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to count every calorie or found yourself caught in a binge-restrict cycle, this episode offers a fresh perspective and actionable advice to help you break free.
Tune in for an engaging discussion that could change the way you think about food and dieting forever.
