Whether you prefer flexible dieting, keto, paleo, plant-based or another style of eating, counting macronutrients (macros) is an excellent tool to assess the proper ratio of fats, carbs and protein your body needs to reach your specific goals.

Your willpower is finite and takes focus. Imagine what we all could accomplish if our energy wasnโt being wasted on fighting temptations multiple times a day. Here are a few ways you can set your environment up for success:
==Do a kitchen overhaul by keeping whole food and some solid choices readily accessible at all times!
== Shop with a grocery plan! Have a meal beforehand will help too!
== Practice mindful eating by eating slowly, removing distractions and savoring the experience with your food!
What are some of your food best practices? I always have a delicious dessert, every day and that friends, keeps my cravings away ๐
