Why You Need to STOP Counting Calories

So many women come to me frustrated because they are tracking every calorie, every macro, every point — and still not losing weight. I get it, because I’ve been there too. I did Weight Watchers, MyFitnessPal, even Richard Simmons’ Deal-A-Meal cards, and every single time I ended up tired, hungry, and feeling like a failure when it didn’t work long term.

In this episode, I’m sharing why calorie counting does not work and why it may actually be the reason you aren’t getting results. We’ll talk about:

Why calorie counting is exhausting, unsustainable, and leaves you hungry
Why not all calories are equal and why women’s bodies respond differently
How tracking disconnects you from your hunger and fullness cues
Why restriction and trying to use willpower almost always backfire
What to do instead so you can fuel your body, feel energized on your rides, and build habits that actually last

If you have ever wondered why eating in a calorie deficit hasn’t worked for you, this episode will help you see that YOU are not the problem. It’s time to stop obsessing over numbers and start learning how to eat in a way that feels good, fuels your biking, and fits into your real life.

If you have a friend who you know will benefit from this message, could you please share this episode with her? It would mean the world to me, and I know she will thank you, too!
