Summary

If weight loss is one of your New Year’s resolutions, you’re probably as frustrated and confused as the rest of us with all the conflicting advice and extreme approaches being touted as a forever solution. In 2023, calorie counting resurfaced as a popular approach to weight loss - and that’s just fine - but many people find that their calorie math somehow doesn’t work and are left feeling discouraged. If you can relate, this solo podcast is for you.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Why calories in / calories out is true but oversimplifies the process
Five variables that can muddle up your calorie math
The real reason we eat (hint: it’s not for nutrition, unfortunately)
Five tips to try instead of (or in addition to) calorie counting
