Do you need to count calories to lose weight? A registered dietitian weighs in on the pros and cons.
In this season, I’m feeling called to help women learn to really care for ourselves. I think sometimes we tend to be excruciatingly self-critical. This can result in us taking on healthy habits as a form of punishment or a way to “fix” something about ourselves. Making goals coming from that place is a recipe for yo-yo dieting and unsustainable exercise patterns.

Spring is a time of new beginnings, and many of us take this season of warmer weather and baby plants and animals as a time to reset our environment. What if we also took inventory of some of our less helpful food and lifestyle habits and did a little spring editing there as well? Consider the following questions:
So much of the work that I do with women is trying to remove the thoughts and patterns around food and our bodies that are not useful (and often cruel and self-sabotaging). This month I want to talk about eating well because you are amazing.
Imagine this scenario: you run into someone you haven’t seen in a while, and they’ve obviously lost a good amount of weight. What happens in your brain? Do you wonder how they did it? Do you ask them their secret? Are you tempted to take notes and do everything exactly as they did?
In 20+ years working in healthcare, I’ve seen many weight loss trends come and go. Some plans help people slim down, and some don’t. Some are based on sound advice, and some are completely absurd. The truth is that no matter what seems to be in fashion, the basic scientific facts about weight loss remain consistent. I do my best to keep an open mind when a seemingly new idea rolls around, but it’s usually an old idea wrapped up in a shiny new package (book, podcast, celebrity interview, etc.). We have to be careful where we are getting our advice, especially in a world where anyone can post any advice publicly without consequences.
Here are the top 2 mistakes I see people make when they want to lose weight:
Protein is a very important component of the foods you eat. Along with carbohydrates and fat, it’s one of the three macronutrients that you need to balance in your diet for optimal health. Protein is a building block for muscle, so of course, it is essential to consume adequate amounts, especially when you are trying to gain strength. Probably one of the most common questions that I get asked by athletes is, “am I getting enough protein?” so I figured that with so many of us working here to get stronger, it would be a great time to address this topic.

Do you ever find yourself feeling guilty about your food choices? Do you have thoughts like, “I am so full I’m sure I have gained weight” or “I am going to have to exercise like crazy to burn this off” or “I might as well keep eating all of this food and start dieting again on Monday”? Here are three ways food guilt makes you less healthy:
