Hormone Helper podcast Episode 57:
Why Counting Macros Might Not Be the Answer: The Macro Dilemma
Welcome back to the Hormone Helper Podcast with Coach Andrew, your hormone helper and nutritionist. In this episode, we dive into the world of macros (or "macrosa", as Andrew humorously calls it) and discusses why tracking them might not be the best approach for sustainable weight loss or maintenance.
Key Talking Points:
- The Origins of Macros: Andrew takes us back to the bodybuilding days of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno, explaining how macros gained popularity as a way to optimize muscle growth and recovery.
- Macronutrients vs. Micronutrients: Andrew compares macros (carbs, proteins, fats) to the big parts of a car engine and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) to the small but crucial nuts and bolts. He emphasizes the importance of both for overall health.
- Unique Metabolisms: Andrew simplifies the concept of varying metabolisms by likening it to different ovens—some fast, some slow. He emphasizes that genetics, age, and hormones influence metabolic speed and performance.
- Stress and Cortisol: Andrew explains how stress affects calorie expenditure and can disrupt weight management. He discusses the importance of managing stress to maintain a healthy metabolism.
- Mindful Eating and Long-Term Sustainability: Andrew highlights the downsides of rigid macro tracking, including potential stress, obsession, and poor food relationships. He advocates for mindful eating, listening to hunger and fullness cues, and focusing on long-term, sustainable lifestyle changes.
In conclusion, Coach Andrew encourages listeners to reconsider the obsession with tracking macros and instead prioritize balanced nutrition, managing stress, and adopting a mindful approach to eating for sustainable, healthy living.
