161\\ Is It Time to Break Up with Counting Macros?

Is it time to break up with counting macros? Many women have found success and structure in counting macros, but for others, it might be time to shift their approach. In this episode, we explore the pros and cons of macro tracking, why it may no longer serve you, and how surrendering to God's guidance in your health journey can lead to lasting freedom and success.

In This Episode:

• Understanding Macros: What they are and how they can help in achieving specific fitness goals.
• The Drawbacks of Macro Tracking: When it becomes a hindrance to true health and freedom.
• A God-Centered Approach to Health: Inviting the Holy Spirit into your health journey for intuitive eating and lasting motivation.

"You’re not meant to be in bondage to food rules; freedom comes from aligning your health journey with God's purpose."
"True health isn’t about perfection; it’s about consistency, grace, and trusting God’s design for your body."

In this episode, these were my key takeaways:

1. Macro tracking can create awareness but may lead to obsession if not balanced with intuition and faith.
2. Real health comes from focusing on real, whole foods and trusting God in your journey.
3. Surrendering to God’s plan for your health provides freedom, grace, and lasting results.
