Why I Don’t Believe in Calorie Counting (And What Actually Works)
Episode Title: Why I Don’t Believe in Calorie Counting (and What Actually Works)
Description:
In this episode of The Body Aligned Podcast, we unpack why calorie counting isn't the key to lasting health — and what actually leads to sustainable weight loss, peace with food, and aligned living.
I’ll share why tracking can feel appealing but often leads to burnout, anxiety, and disconnection from the body God designed. Then we dive into what works instead: balanced meals, quality nutrition, reducing sugar, watching liquid calories, and honoring hunger cues with grace — not rules.
You'll hear science, Scripture, real client stories, and simple steps to begin nourishing your body as worship, not punishment. If you're tired of obsessing over numbers and ready for freedom, wisdom, and a faith-aligned approach to nutrition, this episode is for you.
Tune in, exhale, and learn how to fuel your body with intention, joy, and biblical stewardship — no calorie app required.
