Having some level of understanding when it comes to macronutrients is essential if you want to make any kind of body composition changes. In this episode, I’m breaking down what macros are and why each is important for your body. Fat, protein, and carbohydrates all have a unique role in our overall health and yes, you need to eat a balance of all of them! Dr. Ali’s Food Classification System Always Foods: Eat as much as you want Sometimes Foods: Eat with moderation Never Foods: Eat sparingly or not at all The Chief Complaint: “I Don’t Understand Macros” If your only goal is to watch the number on the scale drop, macros probably won’t matter much to you. But if you’re interested in your changing your overall body composition, you’ll want to know how to fit your macros into your diet plan. What Exactly are Macros? In brief, macronutrients are the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats contained in the foods you eat. To have a healthy diet and make body composition changes, you need to have a certain portion of all three macros. Yep, even carbs. Protein is an essential macro for your muscle health. You’ll hear a lot of people saying that protein is the most important macro and your entire diet should revolve around it, but I don’t believe that’s true. Yes, it’s important and you need to eat enough to rebuild your muscle fibers, but it’s not the be-and-end-all of your diet. Similarly, many in the wellness industry vilify carbohydrates - something completely unnecessary. Carbs are another important macro you can’t afford to remove completely from your diet. In fact, carbs are vital if you want to lose weight while maintaining your muscle mass. How Much of Each Macro? There is a lot of buzz around fat, especially high-fat diets, such as the Keto diet. There are four types of fat: polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, saturated, and trans fats. Our diets should mainly comprise of poly- and monounsaturated fats, with minimal or no saturated fats, and no trans fats if you can help it. Fat is not created equal, so when you’re figuring out how many macros of fat you should be eating, I want you to keep that in mind. One way I like to do this is to have a list of “always” foods, “sometimes” foods, and “never” foods as this helps me keep track of my fat intake. There are quite a few ways to figure out what your macro breakdown is. You can go to a trainer, nutritionist, or website to help you figure out your macro split and how many calories you should eat for your body goals. But once you have these numbers, that usually involves some amount of calorie counting and weighing your food. I’ve developed my own method of tracking called Mindful Macros, which allows you to eyeball your food to know if you’re on target with your macros. Homework for Women Physicians Are you feeling more confident when it comes to your macronutrients? What are your favorite sources of protein? Let me know in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode What protein does to our body composition [4:00] Why you need to eat carbohydrates if you want to lose weight and maintain your muscle mass [9:15] Why fat is absolutely vital to your body [16:30] How you should classify your foods [20:30] What the mindful macro way of eating looks like in your everyday life [23:00] Quotes “If you just want to lose bodyweight on the scale, you just want the number to go down, macronutrient calculation is not necessarily going to be the most important thing for you. The truth is, we just need to create a deficit.” [7:08] “It’s really thinking about how we can look at our food as our medicine and how it can fuel us versus this is a bad food.” [14:07] “When you are eating in a way that is fueling your body, you are eating. So to make a body composition change by understanding macros, know that all macros are welcome.” [15:54] Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle: Transform Your Body Forever Using the Secrets of the Leanest People in the World Join the 5-Day New Year's Reset for Women Physicians Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative Related Episodes Episode 35: “I Can’t Have Food Freedom And Achieve Results” Episode 15: “I Am Exercising So Much And The Scale Is Going Up” Episode 12: "I am exercising so much and not seeing results"
I was listening to a book (from Audible) (get a free book when you sign up) called the Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, and to summarize it: You can only have 1 number one priority. If you try to do everything, you may be able to do a lot of stuff, but you more than likely will not be doing any of it well. Thus, some things you have to blow off and not worry about it. I've mentioned before that you don't have to keep up with the Kardashians. The author mentions that we often operate in the Motivation > Action > Results mindset. We wait until we hit rock bottom, and we get motivated to take some action. Those actions lead to results. Thos results motivate us to the take more actions, which brings more results (and it keeps on repeating). The author changes the trigger. Instead of waiting for rock bottom, change it to where step one is Take Action > Results > Motivation. That motivation then leads to more action. Thus to get the ball rolling DO SOMETHING. This is especially true if you did something and the results were not what you were looking for. Does this mean there is no motivation? Well, there may be motivation to not do something that apparently did not work. Motivated to Help Others? Try Charity Miles Earn money for charities every time you run, walk, or bicycle by using the free Charity Miles app. Corporate sponsors (whose information you'll see as a backdrop image in the app) agree to donate a few cents for every mile you complete. Browse the app's list of charities, find the one that you support, and then hit the road. When a lot of people use Charity Miles, those little bits of money add up. When Charity Miles first launched, its developers created an initial pool of $1 million to donate to charities as people used the app. Once that pool of money ran out (and it has), the developers said they would find corporate sponsors to continue making donations on the user's behalf (and they have). Running and walking earns 25 cents per mile, while bicycling earns 10 cents per mile. As the end-user, you don't have to do anything at all to make sure that money reaches your charity. Charity Miles handles that part. Before you start running, walking, or bicycling, you select a charity from a list. These charities include the World Wildlife Foundation, Alzheimer's Association, Wounded Warrior Project, Stand Up to Cancer, and many others. You can choose a different charity each time you log more miles, or you can stick with just one. It's entirely up to you. As you start to move, you see your speed and total miles add up. Behind these basic stats is a backdrop image that's also an advertisement from the sponsoring organization. (That's how they make money). The app starts tracking when you pick an activity. When you finish your run, walk, or ride, you press the red button to complete the activity. The app shows you a summary of how far you traveled and how much money you earned for your organization of choice. There are a few other features in the app, such as the ability to join a team or form your own team so that you can collectively raise money for charities with friends. Charity Miles users have earned over 2.5 million dollars for charity. For more info go to http://www.charitymiles.org/ What is Dave Reading?
