You did such a great job of pulling out the good stuff! (Journalists are the best. I'm not biased at all hahaha). Thank you SO much for sharing my story with your audience.

I feel like I need to clarify- when I said counting macros was "garbage," I meant that it was trash for my mental health. But I don't mean to throw the baby out with the bathwater so to speak.

I think there's a way to be mindful about macronutrients without being obsessive (which I may post about soon).

Balancing macronutrients strategically can be super helpful to help you meet performance goals or just to avoid the blood sugar spikes and crashes that can make you suddenly ravenous or hangry...

But for me, at that time, counting macros as a means of getting leaner because I bought the lie that this was my ticket to permanent, easy, flexible body recomposition and that the right body was going to make me happy- that was garbage.
