Hey Friend,
You cannot macro your way to the body of your dreams.
I'm not sure how many "regular" people really want to track macros anyway.
If you could, all of those cheap macro coaching programs would be taking the nutrition world by storm and creating an army of sustainably fit badasses.
Fortunately, it's not about the macros.
Tracking macros simply provides data and structure.
The real work is done on the behavioral side of things (boring but so true).
Why aren't most people successful with macros?
Because it's hard to track every morsel of food you eat. It's hard to track when you want to be social. It's hard to track when you're stressed and busy. It's hard to track when you have to deal with uncomfortable emotions.
Now, I could sit here and say... "everything is hard, so what? Do it anyway!"
Which might help a small amount of people.
But most of us don't need to just try harder.
We actually need some help and support around behavior change (and seeing the forest through the trees).
We need to identify our sabotaging patterns.
We need to develop more productive outlets.
We need a healthier, more loving relationship with food and our bodies.
We need to learn more effective emotional processing.
That's where the magic happens.
It's never about the numbers.
When someone is chronically dieting... there's a reason for it.
Figuring that out is the only first step that matters.
When someone is restricting and bingeing.. there's a reason for it.
Figuring that out is the only first step that matters.
I could keep going but I think you get the point.
Yesterday, I spoke with one of my clients who is really enjoying the program.
The reason she became a client is because she first had the awareness to recognize that she needs some additional support with the behavior, lifestyle, and mindset side of things.
She had already done the cheap programs that just told her to do better with her macros, exercise more and eat more fruits and veggies (I love when that advice is given!)
And she lost weight. But still felt completely miserable and restricted.
She was smart enough to realize that it wasn't a lifestyle.
And there were still things that needed to be addressed like her relationship with food, emotional eating (I have an ebook on Overcoming Emotional Eating, just ask me for a copy), stress eating, etc.
Most people need the same but instead they continue to ask about macro adjustments, calorie counting, supplements to take, etc.
None of that will move the needle until we address the REAL roadblock.
This is the core of my 1 on 1 coaching program. If you struggle with all or nothing thinking, I work through it with you. I don't just hand you a plan and say, FOLLOW THIS.
If you struggle with emotional eating, I give you the tools to navigate those emotions without always turning to food. And I guide you on what to do when you do turn to food.
If you continuously self sabotage (which won't happen once you start working with me) we'll get to the root of why it's happening and what purpose it's serving. I help you break that pattern.
This is what actually gets lasting results.
You have to be a willing participant though. You have to be willing to try things and do things differently than you've done them before. You have to be open to communication and showing up for yourself.
If you are, I can get you to exactly where you want to go.
If you want to hear more about HOW it all works, just hit reply to this email and say "TELL ME" and I'll send over a more detailed explanation.

P.S Denise was a willing to try and do things differently. Here's what she had to say about it:
“I want to thank you for this program! I have done so many diets over the years and this one just makes me feel good. It’s definitely a lifestyle for me now and it’s not a diet. Summer has always been my favorite time of the year
but the last couple of years the thought of putting on less clothing stressed me out horribly. Not this Summer! The self-confidence and self-control I have learned over the last couple of weeks outweighs the 21 pound
weight loss on the scale. Thanks again Kevin!”
