Navigating Diet Rules, Tracking Macros & Seasonal/Intuitive Eating

Understanding what foods to eat, how much food to eat, what macros (how much protein, fats, and carbs) and so on can be tough, especially in today's diet-culture. In this episode, we provide our perspective on what it means to follow just another fear-based "diet" with rules, versus actually starting eating intentionally to heal your body and reach your goals. We go over macro tracking and who would benefit from tracking their macros, what macros are, what good macronutrient splits look like and how to determine the optimal macros for yourself. We also talk about determining whether seasonal eating is realistic and if it truly is the optimal way to eat + whether or not intuitive eating works, especially for those that have dieted in the past or have an altered metabolic state (like hypothyroidism, hormonal imbalances, weight to lose or gain, etc.) + more. Hopefully this episode provides a little more hope in regards to exiting the never ending and ever evolving diet-culture, and finally becoming in tune with your individual body's needs and preferences to start healing and thriving.  You can connect with us on Instagram @strong.sistas Or our farm Instagram @angel__acres Learn more about our course, Rooted in Resilience & our exercise membership, Strong Training on our website www.armstrongsisters.com Thanks for listening :-)
