Counting Calories

KAT RENTAS
About this episode

Let’s talk about counting your calories.

The truth is, most opinions in the health community will be very polarizing when it comes to this topic. They’ll see counting calories as either “morally good” or “morally bad”.

In my practice, I consider calorie counting neutral. Where it’s neither seen as positive or negative.

In today’s episode, I’m explaining exactly why this approach to counting calories will serve you,  along with what relationship to calorie counting you’ll want to have in order to stop being dependent on it.
