#31: Brandy Schroeder, Lifestyle and Nutrition Coach

In this personal & professional discussion with Coach B we talk about her experience growing up as a "fat-kid" and how joining a gym in her late teens sparked this love of lifting that would manifest itself in both healthy and unhealthy habits throughout her life; from a disordered relationship with body-building and dieting to a healthier mindset & experience joining a cross-fit box. Now Coach B helps women get to maintenance weight (& stay there) through habit change, moderation and using her 20+ years of experience in health and fitness. We get into the nitty gritty with reverse dieting or as Coach B refers to it as "getting to maintenance" and the biggest issues she sees with women who are trying to lose weight. :: If you like our podcast, please leave a review and subscribe so you can help support the show :: Resources WAITLIST OPEN: The Cravings Code Feb 2024: Reduce cravings & overeating by up to 70% & prime your mindset & metabolism to naturally eat fewer calories & sustainably lose weight.   Email: [email protected] Podcast: More than Macros Radio Web: www.motivateandbfit.com Timestamps (00:00:53) - Intro to our guest Coach Brandy Schroeder (00:03:43) - Life and Fitness journey: from her struggles as a kid, to body-building competitions, motherhood and body-image issues (00:13:03) - 3 Biggest takeaways from her life journey (00:22:00) - From body-building to coaching women (00:31:00) - Brandy's methodology when working with women (00:43:03) - Counting Macros vs Loose tracking (00:46:21) - Self-control, binge-eating, fears and strategies (00:54:15) - Finding balance and enjoyment in food  (00:55:22) - Coaching from a Mindset perspective (01:00:56) - How to connect with coach B (01:01:55) - Favorite crave food (01:06:15) - Final thoughts (01:08:30) - Outro, connect on Instagram!
