Episode Summary

Do you feel married to your macros and want a way out? Today's episode might be that ticket for you...

Episode Notes

Do you feel married to your macros and want a way out? Today's episode might be that ticket for you...

 

We have our highest requested returning guest and head coach at VGFN Alex Long to talk about her experience recently with her nutrition and hiring a coach. Yes, even coaches need coaching as well!

 

She has had some issues in the past with hiring coaches that were strictly macro based and didn't feel heard or understood but now found a coach that is completely open to eating mindfully! As a result, she is able to fit those delicious pastries and burgers into her nutrition plan and still see results!

 

We'll discuss her past with eating and restriction, how she's overcome those struggles, introduce you to the concept of the hunger scale, and more!
