If you’re tracking calories, macros, steps, and your weight, that obsession might be the reason you can’t lose weight. The weight loss industry tells you to track everything, but for a lot of women, it’s a recipe for disaster.

  • There are 3 types of people who track their calories, points, macros, and weight… and one of them is sabotaging your weight loss without you realizing it.
  • The hard truth about what happens when you stop tracking your calories and weight.
  • What the scale actually triggers for food-addicted women.
  • Why the 10,000 step rule is setting you up for failure, and what to do instead.
  • The weight loss industry tells you to track everything, but is what you are tracking sabotaging your progress?
