Eat a Healthy Diet Without Overthinking It!
The breadth of nutrition-focused strategies to boost performance—and help with weight loss—can be dizzying. Tracking macros, clean eating, the keto diet versus the Mediterranean diet, carb cycling, and intermittent fasting are just some of the more popular options.
For some of us, the desire to get lighter becomes a driving motivation, with the belief that more weight equals slower speed. But while aiming for healthy body composition is important, we might find ourselves heading into dangerous territory: At what point does managing macros and calories veer toward unhealthy preoccupation?
The answer is different for everyone, but there are some general strategies that can help reframe your approach to eating so daily consumption feels more like nourishment and a balanced diet rather than restriction.
