165. I stopped dieting and my body finally changed. here's what I eat now

from The Fit & Free Podcast · host Laura Swingler

For years I thought the answer was cutting carbs, eating cauliflower rice, buying expensive diet foods, and trying every nutrition trend promising fat loss. But my body changed the most when I stopped dieting and started fueling my body properly.   In this episode, I take you through a full week of eating, meal prep, workouts, grocery shopping, and the exact nutrition approach I'm using to get in the best shape of my life in my 30s. I'm sharing how I finished my fat loss phase, transitioned into a performance phase, increased my carbs, improved my gym performance, and continue building muscle without calorie counting or food restriction.   You'll hear about:✅ My body recomposition meal prep routine✅ High-protein meals for fat loss and muscle gain✅ The hypertrophy training program I'm following✅ How I structure nutrition after a fat loss phase✅ Why I stopped eating diet foods like cauliflower rice and paleo bread✅ My maintenance strategy for body recomposition✅ Grocery haul and healthy travel snacks✅ How exercise helps my mental health and PMDD symptoms✅ Realistic nutrition for women in their 30s   No calorie counting. No food guilt. No cutting out carbs. Just evidence-based nutrition, progressive overload training, and a sustainable approach that actually fits real life.   Subscribe for weekly body recomposition content, high-protein recipes, fat loss tips, muscle-building advice, nutrition education, and behind-the-scenes coaching content.   OR watch the video for the full visual scoop!  https://youtu.be/Rh4-mDH04NM   Follow me on IG - https://www.instagram.com/fitandfreeacademy Follow me on TT - https://www.tiktok.com/@fitandfreeacademy   P.S.
