Carbs… are they the enemy of fat loss?
Macros (macronutrients) are the nutrients we consume in large quantities and are split into three main groups: PROTEIN, FATS AND….CARBOHYDRATES. Contrary to popular belief, carbs are NOT the enemy of fat loss!
Fats, they don’t make you fat
Taking in more energy (calories) than you use up leads to fat gain – it’s that simple! These extra calories could come from any macro group – fats, carbs or protein. It is not correct to simplify this by saying “fat makes you fat”.

Macros in Food
We need specific nutrients from our diet in for our bodies to function correctly. Macronutrients are the nutrients we consume larger quantities of; they’re split into three main groups: Protein, Carbohydrates & Fat. ALL THREE play a part in achieving good health.
Energy Balance and Calories
Tracking calories and macros is a way to become aware of what you’re eating / drinking and how you can make changes to a) reduce body fat now and b) have a sustainable, healthy nutritional intake which will be long-term, unrestrictive and – most importantly, enjoyable!
Bloating
There is no single reason for bloating and a little bloating is natural and normal as we consume food. It has been suggested that women bloat more than men because, generally, their digestive process is slower and our food stays in our system for longer than men.
Stress Eating
Stress eating (or emotional eating) is a thing! Many people turn to food to fill emotional needs, ease anxiety or relieve stress. Stress eating is a coping mechanism to soothe uncomfortable feelings. How can you stop using food as a coping mechanism for stress?
