Last Thursday, I recorded this week's podcast:

How to STOP Stressing and Obsessing Over Calories (8 Things I'd Say)

I was pretty happy with how it turned out, which isn't always the case with solo episodes that are easy to overthink.

But I knocked this one right out (I love the topic) and scheduled it for this Tuesday.

Great.

Until like an hour later... when I realized I should've included one more thing at the end of the episode that can make a HUGE difference with calorie stress and obsessiveness while dieting:

Tracking your progress in multiple ways.

Weekly bodyweight averages, photos, measurements, etc.

Why?

Because much of the stress around calorie counting comes from trying to be perfect, and—consciously or not—feeling like that's necessary to see great results.

But it's not.

And by being more flexible (you'll learn how in the episode), and tracking your progress in multiple ways: you'll have plenty of evidence that being flexible IS okay.

Which is likely exactly what you need to take a deep breath with this stuff.

Here's what else I went over:

• Why I don't recommend keto—or virtually any diet with a name
• How calorie counting can actually make you feel MORE free around food (if you approach it the right way)
• Why I rarely have clients track all three macros
• Easily tracking restaurant meals without feeling stressed or anxious about it
• The issue with tracking "streaks"

Plus even more that'll help you feel more relaxed about calorie counting, and not so stressed and obsessive.

Will you let me know if this one resonates?

Again, I really enjoy the topic—and I'd love to help you if you struggle with this.
