Tired of Tracking? How to Lose Weight Without Counting Calories or Macros

Tired of tracking every single calorie? Done with Weight Watchers, MyFitnessPal, and Noom? You're not alone. And here's what the influencers and experts won't tell you: you don't actually need to track your macros and calories to lose weight successfully.

I lost 50 pounds in 2020 without tracking a single thing. That was six years ago. I'm now in full blown perimenopause and I haven't gained the weight back. And I still don't track anything.

In this episode I'm sharing exactly how I did it and how you can lose weight without calorie counting apps or food tracking. Because here's the problem: tracking disconnects you from your body. It keeps you from eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're satisfied. It teaches you to restrict and creates a good food bad food mentality that's impossible to sustain.

So what do you do instead? You plan. Five minutes every morning. You eliminate decision fatigue by eating the same breakfast and lunch. You fuel your workouts properly without restricting on active days. You follow your hunger cues. And you test and find out what actually works for YOUR body.

We're covering why Weight Watchers and calorie counting apps don't work long term, the simple five minute morning meal planning system that replaces tracking, how to eliminate decision fatigue around food, how to fuel your bike rides and workouts when you're trying to lose weight, and why eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're satisfied is more effective than any app.

This is for women over 40 who are done with restrictive diets and ready for a sustainable weight loss approach that doesn't require micromanaging your life in an app.
