Counting calories is going to create an environment that is very strongly conducive to people developing a disordered relationship with food and developing all of these patterns that breed perfectionism.
Tired of obsessing over every calorie you consume? Rachel and David Godfrey have got your back in this eye-opening episode of The Chase Life Podcast. They dive into why counting calories is not just unnecessary but can actually be harmful for most people trying to lose weight. Imagine not having to measure every grain of rice or quinoa—sounds liberating, right? But it’s more than just freedom from the kitchen scale.
The hosts explain how calorie counting can erode your self-confidence, make you doubt your body’s signals, and even affect your performance at work. It’s a cycle that breeds perfectionism and fear, often leading to binge-eating episodes and a strained relationship with food. Rachel and David don’t just highlight the problems; they offer real solutions. They advocate for a big-picture approach to health and weight management, focusing on emotional and behavioral changes rather than restrictive diets.
Learn how to embrace healthy fluctuations in your weight and develop a sustainable nutrition plan that doesn’t feel like punishment. This episode is packed with practical advice and debunks common myths about calorie counting, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to achieve long-term fitness goals without the misery of meticulous tracking.
