Do you feel married to your macros and want a way out? Today's episode might be that ticket for you... We have our highest requested returning guest and head coach at VGFN Alex Long to talk about her experience recently with her nutrition and hiring a coach. Yes, even coaches need coaching as well! She has had some issues in the past with hiring coaches that were strictly macro based and didn't feel heard or understood but now found a coach that is completely open to eating mindfully! As a result, she is able to fit those delicious pastries and burgers into her nutrition plan and still see results! We'll discuss her past with eating and restriction, how she's overcome those struggles, introduce you to the concept of the hunger scale, and more! Time Stamps:  (2:42) Alex’s Recent Relationship with Food (5:08) Tracking Macros Again (9:25) Incorporating Mindful Eating into VGFN (12:05) Breakfast Pastry Examples (19:54) Coaching Clients Through Intuitive Eating (24:41) The Hunger Scale (28:36) Our Forever Fit Program (30:16) Alex’s Future Goals---------------------Download Our FREE Workout Program---------------------Home Gym Equipment We Recommended:Resistance Bands SetFlybird BenchFlybird DumbbellsBowflex Adjustable Kettlebell---------------------Join the Food and Fitness for Busy Ladies with Social Lives Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing weight without hating your life!---------------------Check out our Youtube Channel!---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. --------------------Enjoyed the podcast?
