Ep. 6: Should You Be Eating Intuitively or Tracking Macros?

On today's episode of Stop Talking About Fat Loss Podcast, the hosts, Erin, Sarah, and Chris, talk about the world of intuitive eating. Intuitive eating is a way of eating where you listen to what your body is telling you and adjust your diet based off of those signals. The hosts talk about why you should first track macros, why most people aren't ready for intuitive eating, and how intuitive eating is not great for fat loss, and ways to build up to becoming a intuitive eater in a maintenance phase.
