In today’s episode, Michelle Carvalho (Macros Fuel Muscles) certified macro coach, joins me to tell her story through yo-yo dieting which began at age 12, culminating in a transformative health journey as she approached her 40s as she embraced macro tracking and rejected food restrictions. She has lost and kept off over 85 pounds and gained a sense of food freedom.

We talk all about overcoming food fear, maintenance, balance, weightlifting, self-compassion, and much, much more.

“It’d been a lot of years of not knowing what to do, losing and gaining, thinking there was something wrong with me… Nobody ever explained what I had to do after I lost the weight.”

- Michelle Carvalho (Macros Fuel Muscles)

“If you can't do maintenance, how are you gonna do a deficit?”

- Michelle Carvalho (Macros Fuel Muscles)
