#117 - I'm gaining weight, this isn't working with Craig McDonald

Just about every week I get at least 2-3 DM's from women like this:"Hi Kitty I've been dieting for years and have been following you and others in the community and I've been implementing some of the principles eating more carbs, dairy etc but I've gained so much weight, it's not working what should I do?"The first thing I ask them is have they been tracking their food?Just about everyone says they haven't been tracking their food or they have been loosely tracking their food. So we thought we'd record a quick podcast on this topic.In this episode, we chat about:➡️The importance of tracking and planning your food➡️Why someone gains weight➡️When weight/fat gain is needed and when it's not ➡️How to minimise fat gain ➡️How the balance of protein, fat, and carbs is critical➡️The hard truth about why you may not be seeing the results you want➡️Why being consistent is essential➡️How muscle mass plays a part➡️How time mattersLINKSFollow Kitty on Instagram 👉  https://www.instagram.com/kittyblomfield/Follow Craig on Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/iamcraigmcdonald/Join our 7 Day Eat More, Train Less, Get Results Challenge 👉  https://www.nustrength.com.au/7D-challenge-V1Want to know more about our 16 week Winatlife Accelerator Program?
