When I first started flexible eating, I didn’t care about the quality of my food. As many of you have heard me talk about before, I lost the first 10lbs. on my journey eating an abundance of Cinnamon Toast Crunch…I know some people might think this is open to debate, but Cinnamon Toast Crunch is THE best breakfast cereal out there. FACT.
We get asked this all the time, “Do I really need to weigh and measure my food?”
The answer is YES! Like anything in this world, the more precise you are, the more accurate you are and so it follows, the better the results. Of course there needs to be a balance, we don’t want you to drive yourself crazy or be that guy at the restaurant with your scale on the table – although Jason has been known to be that guy! But when you have access to a kitchen we recommend you weigh and measure your food to improve the results you’ll get from tracking macros.
Gone are the challenging days of filling in spreadsheets or even more tedious, committing pen to paper to keep track of what you’re eating. The age of “there’s an app for that” has brought with it countless ways in which you can track your fitness and food and along with it SO much more freedom in the foods you can enjoy.
Even with the freedom the Own Your Eating lifestyle brings, sometimes, when you’re standing in front of the fridge with the door wide open at 10 o’ clock at night trying to find something to hit those last 20g of protein, it can be hard to remember why tracking your macros is worth the extra energy.
Whether you’re new to the concept of macros or have been a flexible dieter for quite some time, we still often get the question “should I be eating ‘clean’?”
Many of you might still be skeptical, wondering “how can donuts help me lose weight? That’s impossible!”
“This just isn’t working for me! I’m logging my food, I promise I’m tracking everything but I’m just not getting any results! I think we need to change my numbers!” Does this sound familiar? Perhaps something you’ve been pondering for the last month or so?
When people ask about eating out at seminars, Jason always hands the floor over to me. If you don’t already know, I am a full-blown foodie! Which can be a blessing
We love Flexible Eating because you can eat anything you want and still lose weight, but is that ok? Is it healthy to eat a diet that consists primarily of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
When you want to improve how you look, feel and perform, sleep is just as important as nutrition and exercise. Getting a good night’s sleep gives our bodies and minds an opportunity to recover and recharge and helps to keep us lean, focused, happy and overall healthy!
Although the most fundamental reason why we need daily sleep remains in dispute, health gurus and experts alike can all agree that getting a good night’s rest should be high on your list of priorities.
