Counting Macros for Weight Loss Changed My Relationship with Food

How counting macros for weight loss changed my body and my relationship with food | TRIM Macro coaching for women with Marissa Vicario

If I told you that counting macros for weight loss changed my body and my relationship with food, would you believe me?

In all my years as a Health Coach, I’ve never been into diets. My methodology was this: workout, eat healthy and control cravings. Sounds simple enough and it worked for me, for the most part.

But, I never saw the muscle tone I wanted to have as someone who exercised as much as I did.

In my health coaching practice, this same methodology gave my clients a solid foundation for eating healthier, but I wanted them to see life-changing results that blew them away.

That’s when counting macros for weight loss came onto my radar and not only changed my body but my relationship with food.

In 2018, I found TRIM Boot Camp. TRIM is an all-inclusive, 8-week macro coaching program for women that pairs workouts with proper nutrition for optimal results.

My 40th birthday was on the horizon and though I didn’t necessarily have any weight to lose, I wanted to see how I could improve my nutrition. I embarked on the 8-week program and immediately noticed an enormous shift in my energy levels.

Read my TRIM story and how counting macros for weight loss changed my body and relationship with food.

As the weeks went on, my blood sugar balanced, I felt satisfied by my meals and my cravings disappeared. I didn’t want that feeling to end, so I signed up for another round. After the second round, I had lost weight and built lean muscle. My clothes fit like a dream! When I turned 40, I was the most confident and energized I had ever been!

Four years later, I’m now a TRIM Coach and offer macro coaching for women online!

These are a few of the things I was doing wrong:

  1. Exercising too much
  2. Doing too much cardio
  3. Eating too few calories
  4. Cutting out too many foods
  5. Not pairing the right workouts with the right nutrition

All of the above, each in its own way, was destroying my hormones and metabolism.

This is how counting macros for weight loss changed my body and relationship with food:

  1. Learning how to fuel my body properly for my workouts
  2. Giving my body the gift of a more efficient, fat-burning metabolism
  3. Getting off the “diet mentality” train
  4. Forever transforming my relationship with food
  5. Building lean muscle and feeling strong
  6. Gaining confidence around food and within my body

Ever since the day I joined, I’ve been living the TRIM lifestyle. It has completely changed my perspective on fitness and nutrition.

With the TRIM program, we make adjustments for pregnancy and postpartum so it’s safe. My results with counting macros for weight loss postpartum.

Where I previously believed nutrition had to mean no indulgences, I now get so much more enjoyment out of food because I not only feel completely nourished but I can go on vacation, eat dessert, enjoy carbs without guilt and drink wine and feel confident I will still reach my goals.

Where I was previously a slave to my workouts, I now spend less time exercising and more time living my life. My workouts are efficient and because they’re paired with nutrition, they deliver results. My body has more muscle tone and less fat which is important to me as I get older.

Finally, and this was always a big one for me – there are absolutely no supplements, meals or shakes to buy. With TRIM, you eat your own food and you learn how to smartly dine out at restaurants.

I say this ALL 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 TIME - the we I say this ALL 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 TIME - the weekend is 43% percent of your week!

How many times have you started a program or created new habits and stuck with them during the week, but then totally flew off the rails come the weekend? 

That was always me. I’d feel like every Monday I was “starting over” or “getting back on track” after every vacation. I absolutely hated that feeling. 

Because the weekend is such a large chunk of the week, being in that cycle didn’t feel good to me. When I found TRIM, I was ready to make healthy living an actual LIFESTYLE that I could maintain anytime, anywhere, and still enjoy cocktails without the guilt. 

I found that TRIM made it easy to do that. Did I still need to make some sacrifices and be disciplined? Of course you always will when you have goals to reach. 

These tips are what I share with my clients to keep nutrition balanced on the weekends so they can still live their life but not set themselves back on reaching their goals. 

My next round for TRIM starts on June 5. This is my last round until August.

Calories and carbs can seem scary. If you’ve b Calories and carbs can seem scary. 

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ve probably heard me say it before, but I’ll say it again: Eating fewer calories and fewer carbs is not the recipe for weight loss. 

In TRIM, we calorie cycle and carb cycle. 

This means we eat fewer calories on some days and more, or regular, calories on others. For carb cycling, we do two back-to-back low carb days. 

We pair our lower calorie days with rest days and our low carb days with HIIT workouts. 

Mot days, we’re eating in the “more” range for calories and carbs and that can be difficult for women who are used to restricting one or the other – or both! 

Your body needs carbs and calories for your metabolism to fire, muscles to build and to fuel your body for daily activity. 

Limiting one or both to see a quick and short-term drop in weight (and it WILL be just that – quick and temporary), will damage your metabolism making it harder to lose weight in the future. It can also affect your thyroid and adrenal function. 

To see lasting results, you have to fuel your body. 

That’s why in TRIM we CALORIE CYCLE and CARB CYCLE so your body gets the fuel it needs. 

Calorie Cycling keeps you in a caloric deficit and Carb Cycling depletes your body of glycogen. Both can help with weight loss. 

Ready to give this a try and finally make long term changes?

Why is TRIM 49 days (7 weeks) long? Studies show Why is TRIM 49 days (7 weeks) long?

Studies show it takes anywhere from 21 to 66 days to form a habit.

The key is consistency. When you repeat the same behavior, it becomes more automatic and ingrained in your daily routine. 

In TRIM, I keep the schedule the same for my clients…the same daily tasks….and daily accountability to make sure you form not just a habit, but a lifestyle. 

I know it’s important to set realistic goals and start small, so we focus on one habit at a time. 

I help you celebrate your progress along the way and to keep perspective if and when you slip up. And when you do, I help you get back on track and keep pushing forward.

We start June 5 and there will be no July round. Go to the link in my bio or trimbootcamp.com/marissa-mcfarland to sign up!
