Calories matter, and they matter a lot. But what you are eating, which we call macros (the amount of protein, fat, and carbohydrates consumed) matters too! This matters because your macros directly impact how you feel physically. Eating too many carbohydrates, particularly processed foods; can lead to dysregulated blood sugar, constant snacking, increased desire for sugar, belly bloat, digestion problems such as constipation, and roller-coaster energy levels.

Become a fat burner. When you shift to a low-carb or keto way of eating, you reduce your carbohydrate intake and replace it with healthy fats. This state is called ketosis. It’s when your body switches its fuel source from using carbs to using dietary fat you consume AND your stored body fat as fuel! Some benefits of being in ketosis include less desire for sugar, balanced blood sugar (no more energy crashes!), improved digestion, less belly bloat, and fat loss becomes easy, almost effortless! 

Being metabolically fit is important for improving body composition. A lot of women struggle with fat loss or loss of lean muscle mass due to metabolic adaptation. The metabolism adapts to things like chronic calorie restriction and the metabolism slows down. I teach my clients tools such as calorie cycling and reverse dieting so plateaus become a thing of the past! Body re-composition is both an art and a science, and I can help you optimize yours!
