1 Corinthians 10:31; So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”        

Macronutrients or MACROS are the three nutrients your body needs most: Protein-Carbohydrates-Fat.

Protein: -supports muscle-boosts fullness-stabilizes blood sugar-supports metabolism-- Most women are severely under-eating protein.

Aim for: roughly 120–150g daily to start. Most women are going to need more than that but it’s a good starting point. Protein examples: chicken-eggs-Greek yogurt-cottage cheese-turkey-tuna-protein shakes

Carbohydrates or carbs. Your brain needs carbs. Your body uses carbs for energy, they are VITAL to reaching your weight loss goals ladies. Supportive carbs: potatoes-fruit-rice-oats-sourdough bread-vegetables.

Healthy Fat is our friend! They support hormone production and function. Examples: avocado-olive oil-nuts-salmon-nut butter--Fat is not the enemy!

SIMPLE MACRO METHOD- At each meal: 1 palm protein (6-8 ounces) -1 fist carb -1/2 cup-healthy fat= 1/4 c for cheeses, avocado. 1 tsp for nut butters, oils, etc.-1 c vegetables 1c fruit. Aim for 4-5 meals to get started. Here’s an example of what a day can look like:

Breakfast: -3-4 eggs-turkey sausage-1 c Berries or piece of whole grain toast with 1 tsp real butter.

Lunch:-chicken salad-½ c Potatoes or quinoa-1 c veggies

Snack:-Greek yogurt with honey and fruit-protein shake add a banana and 2 c spinach

Dinner:-salmon-rice-green beans

Proverbs 9:10 says: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Let the Spirit speak to you on these matters, He will settle your worry. 

Holy Lord, thank You for the food You put on this beautiful Earth, thank You for farmers who sow and reap. Father, help me approach food with wisdom instead of fear, I have a lot to learn here Jesus, will you soften my heart as I learn a new way to fuel my body? I am nervous Lord, but I trust You more than what the world teaches. Teach me balance and stewardship as I start to fuel my body Father. Free me from confusion and diet culture, I am so tired of fearing the food that You’ve put on the Earth, help me to live a life of balance and gratitude for this body You have blessed me with. Help me to  nourish her as she deserves. In Jesus’ name, amen.

ACTION STEPS:

  • build your balanced meals
  • prioritize protein
  • stop labeling foods as “good” or “bad”

Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?

Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach. I gained 100 pounds in my late twenties and struggled for years to get it off. Seven years ago, I found a basic system that worked and has helped me lose 90 of those pounds. I’ve been working with women in online fitness and nutrition ever since to break chains of diet culture, embrace their bodies and fueling instead of dieting. 

 In this podcast, I'll teach you how to:

  • • Lose Weight in a Way that honors God without obsessing about the scale
    • Meal Plan and Prep for Your Family
    • Follow a MACRO based plan that allows you to eat the foods you love.
    • Recognize and pray through triggers keeping you stuck.
    • I’ll help you Plan your week and schedule your self-care time.
    • Cultivate a spirit of self-discipline in your workouts you actually enjoy.
     
    It's time to give God your health journey and watch Him make you new, from the inside, OUT.
