81: What happens when you stop counting calories

Shanna Hutcheson, aka the dietitian behind Wellness for the Win. She stopped calorie counting in January 2017, and wrote a blog post about it on her site. We talk about her process of personally, and then professionally, incorporating the principles of Intuitive Eating that resonate with her. We talk about why she changed her tune, and embraced a life without calorie counting. We talk about her adorable doggos. And we talk about how it feels to enter this non-fad-diet world and feel a little clumsy at first—Am I saying "this" right? Does this resonate? Does it help? But first, I start today's episode by diving into a hot topic: The latest research touting a Low-Carbohydrate diet for "weight maintenance". Fun, right? You can read a summary of the research here, but I encourage you read the whole thing (full access on BMJ).  And if you're interested, join the email list for updates on the Weight-inclusive Nutrition and Dietetics events! -- -- -- Have you left a review on iTunes yet?
