037: FIVE things you're doing wrong while macro tracking (and how to fix it!!) Artwork

Losing Weight without Losing Your Mind (formerly the More Mindful Podcast)

Welcome to the Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind Podcast (formerly, the More Mindful Podcast) — where we make weight loss sustainable (and dare I say, enjoyable?!) by changing how you think, instead of just changing what you eat.

Hi, I'm your host is Julia Lynch— your down-to-earth double-certified macro-nutrition coach, integrative health enthusiast, and fellow recovering "starting over every Monday" girl. I get it because I've been there: obsessing over every bite, working out twice a day, and still feeling like I was failing.

Here's what changed everything: I stopped expecting overly-restrictive diets to work for me (they don't!) and I started working with my brain and body, instead of against it.

Now, I help overwhelmed, high-achieving women (you know, the ones juggling EVERYTHING, while her inner perfectionist yaps away at her all day) lose weight without making it their full-time job or giving up Friday night pizza. What’s the point of losing weight if it makes you hate your life?

Through my Rooted Method, I combine mindful eating and macro tracking with practical nutrition hacks and the mindset shifts that actually stick, so you can finally stop the mental gymnastics around food and lose weight without the drama…

Each week, we're diving into real conversations about the thoughts keeping you stuck, simple nutrition strategies that work with your actual life, and tools to help you trust yourself around food again.

Because here's the thing—you don't need another meal plan. You need to stop believing that becoming “that healthy girl” is out of reach. Once you shift your mindset to believe it IS possible, I promise you things will start falling into place. And this podcast is your gateway there.

In this episode, Julia dives into her transformative approach to macro counting, revealing how mindfulness can completely change the way you track your food. Drawing from her personal journey, she shares five powerful strategies that can make macro tracking not just easier, but more effective in the long run.

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn:

Many clients struggle with macro tracking, even when they're familiar with the basics—mindful eating can be the missing piece to making it work.
Finding the perfect macro balance is a personal journey. It’s all about tuning into your body's hunger cues and how you feel. Coaching can be a key tool to navigate this process successfully.
Low macros might lead to quick fixes, but they aren’t sustainable. This is about creating lasting, healthy habits, not temporary solutions.
This is macro tracking as a lifestyle, not a diet! Real change requires consistent effort, and when done mindfully, it becomes a sustainable part of your life.
