Summary
If you've been tracking macros for years and still don't trust yourself around food… this episode is for you! In this Boss Bitch Radio episode, I'm talking to the competitors, the ex-competitors, the MyFitnessPal queens, the women who live and die by their macro numbers. If you feel like the only way you can stay "on track" is by weighing every gram and logging every bite, we need to have a real conversation. I'm not here to bash macro tracking. It can be a powerful tool. I've used it for over a decade. I competed almost 20 times as an IFBB Pro. I know what it takes to get shredded. But I also know what it costs. If you're a competitor, former competitor, chronic dieter, or woman trying to heal your relationship with food after years of macro tracking, this episode will hit. 👉 Join the Post-Show Reset Event on Feb 24 to learn how to reset your mindset, rebuild consistency, and move forward without extremes. https://www.bossbitchradio.com/reset Join the newsletter for more behind-the-scenes tips, cheat sheets, and practical tools → https://www.bossbitchradio.com/newsletter #macrotracking #countingmacros #bodybuildingwomen Key Takeaways: 01:09 Hey, I'm Diane + Why I Help Women Get Out of Diet Mode 02:50 What We're Getting Into: When Tracking Helps… and When It Starts Messing With You 04:38 Quick Plug: The Post-Show Report Card (You'll Want This) 06:09 Why I Walked Away From Competing: Prep Brain, Food Noise, and Rebound Fear 12:44 When Tracking Gets Obsessive: Weighing Everything + Social Life Tetris 15:33 First Show Energy vs. The Long Game Mind Games 18:16 Low Fat, Low Brain Power: When Dieting Starts Wrecking You 21:40 You're Not Clueless - You Already Know How to Eat 23:48 You Don't Need Another Meal Plan (You Need Trust) 24:54 Signs Macro Tracking Is Low-Key Hurting…
