Whether you’re new to macro tracking or have been at it for a while, you’ve likely thought to yourself, “do I need to track macros to lose weight?” or, “Do I have to track macros forever?”

As with any new skill, there is a bit of a learning curve. Lucky for you, we’re here to help! Let’s take a look at some of the most common macro counting questions so you can get up and running as quickly as possible.

When you set a goal to lose weight, the next question is often “how long will it take me to reach my weight-loss goal?”, right?

Whether it is getting healthier, losing weight, making weight for a competition, getting stronger, optimizing performance, or improving gut health (just to name a few goals we see here at WAG), learning to love “The Process” is one of the things that will help you get there.

Our final goal is reflection. Through any process of growth, there will be successes, challenges and surprises, but most importantly lessons.

With full schedules and tight deadlines, we quite often find ourselves wishing we had more time in our day to do things we love and enjoy.

When we operate from a place of gratefulness we develop the ability to be satisfied in moderation. Just think of a food item that you enjoy.

We’re going to take a second to talk about paper towels. Yep, paper towels.

During our quest to reach our weight loss and / or performance goals, it’s so easy to get caught up in everyday life, operating on automatic, focusing only on the glaringly obvious markers that we feel serve as proof that we’re making progress.
