I learned something new about reverse dieting

Micaela

Loved this class! I love your honesty and spirit! I feel motivated after this lesson- like I can really enjoy food and use it to my benefit.

Nytosha

Very interesting. Love learning about how the body adapts to what we feed it.

MrsSRH

This was the best breakdown I've heard so far!! 💛

What?!! I honestly thought I knew everything about eating. I’m shook. Very excited to take this slow and see what happens. It all makes so much sense. The consistency!!

Veronica

Do we intake our daily calorie average whether we workout or not? Or should we not eat as much on rest days?

Kasey Broussard

This was so helpful!!! You did a great job breaking things down into simpler concepts! Really helpful, thank you!

Ashley

Loved this class especially because I definitely jumped right into using the app instead of calculating what I was eating and wow I instantly became conscious of what I was eating. I’ve always liked to cook my own food so it definitely took a life of its own. Mind body and spirit. I’m enjoying this new journey!

You are so practical! You explained how important it is to have a sustainable healthy diet. That is the key point , have a sustainable diet . I hope i can follow through ur guidance , for my weight lose journey.

Samira

Great, I figured out what the hell I’ve been doing wrong, not having stability and consistency in my eating habits (not eating enough) then wondering why I couldn’t lose weight…I straight up felt like I was at war with my body at times…and although it’s a hard pill to swallow I’m ready for what’s next 😃

Melissa Garay

Super informative. I’ve learned more in the past few sessions than I have working with a nutritionist for 3 years. Going to give this a go and see how it impacts my weight loss goals. I’ve tried diets before (whole 30/weight watchers/meat free) and they’ve always ended in my gaining more weight. After this class, for the first time ever, I now understand why. Thank you!

Sophia

Natalie

Cynthia

Loved the positive real talk at the end. Made me want to give myself all the love & good choices!

Sarah

It was hard to take away anything from this & apply it as it seemed like a lot of abstract numbers and situations.

Keatyn

Monica

Loved this macro class and I really learned a lot! I would love it if there was some type of document available for the breakdown of how to calculate the macros. Other than that, it was great!

Hannah

Vanessa

It was great! I have a lot of weight to lose—well over 100lbs. I haven’t been restricting my calories that much. How do I lower my macros in order to lose weight once my weight stabilizes after eating the macros determined by the 7 day caloric average?

Kristen

Amazing! Thank you so much I feel like I have a better understanding of how to measure macros by myself and just overall having a good healthy relationship with food.

Tatiana

I would like to understand why Jennifer has to reverse diet over 6 months. Is it to just get your caloric intake up until what? How much does she have to gain?

Jenna Blue

This was really helpful. I was maintaining a weight but I’ve changed my eating habits and working out 5-6 days a week it’s been frustrating. I’m excited to apply this to my fitness journey to hopefully lose some more weight.

Amanda

Alice

Oh my goodness! Mind blown! I finally, finally understand a healthy, sustainable process to reach my goals!

Michelle Gadd

Super informative! I’ve always had a bad relationship with food, I’ve had some ‘forbidden’ foods and all, but now that I’m doing macros, I think it’ll help me develop a more healthy way to see food!

Vanessa Bellido

I am learning all about macros and really enjoying it.  Always heard about it but never knew how it worked. Loved what you said about the chicken and it once had a life and your relationship with food and the whole process. Great way of thinking about it. I love that.

Julie

Chloe

Jackie

Literally life changing!! I finally know wtf macros mean 😂😂 thank you Mel!! 💕

Sabah

Taccara

Nancy

I wonder how I should start as I am slightly overweight and want to start loose fat. Do I only go down 100cals at a time? Or can I go down to 1300cals right away?

Anouk

Ana Rolene

I’m not sure after adding back calories when the weight loss occurs?? That’s not clear. Also, I’m stabilized at 1500 calories but have another 30 lbs to lose. Now what?

Candice

I had no idea tracking macros was so much about getting your body to a stable place to then work with the calories. Everything you read gives you the numbers and just says go, so if you gain weight you have no idea why. Eating "clean" isn't enough either cuz you don't know what you're not doing well. You've explained some concepts in a way I've never heard before and it just. makes. sense. My body is pretty unstable and I'm excited to try this with this new found knowledge!! :)

Alexandria

I don't understand why it's not clicking.  I lost 50lbs or a  Restrictive diet and over several months gained back 15lbs. Even listening to you and trying to understand intake, is still confusing 😕. So frustrated.  Clearer boards that I can see clearly can also help. Thanks

Diane

Love your personality! Can I just give you my weight & you tell me what my macros should be based on that? To lose weight?

Bernie C

I wish I would have seen this before spending money on diet plan gimmicks!

Kasey

Wow! I have purchased many fitness apps and by far the information you share regarding macros is the best!

Vero

Great information. Painful to get through

Janelle

Macros 3 - Tracking & Case Studies

Poorly explained, was not easy to understand in between all ‘ehmm’,

Roberta

I understand macros equal protein, carbs, fats now but not too much else. What combo is right for me? How do you figure that part out?

Heather

Lovely! I'm sure this is the holy grail. Ready to implement into my diet 👍

Chrys

Macros 1 - Marcos, Calories, & Nutrition

Sorry bout first review & comments. Didn’t realize it was a bunch of classes. Duh. 
This was excellent! I get it!!! Thank you so much Mel

Golnar

Macros 2 - Your Macros, Changes & Reverse Diet

A lot of great Info! I would always hire online coaches they would give me my meal plans and almost always my calories were so low 1200-1400 so I would loose 15lbs the most and not loose anymore. I would try to up my calories and I would gain the weight right back. I would get so discouraged.

Cristina Aleman

I appreciate your teaching style, informative and non judgmental. Thanks!

Tiffany

Macros 4 - Common Scenarios

Raven

Learning this before the next challenge. 😉

Jennifer

Very informative!! Thanks for  breaking the process down!!

Bonus: How to Weigh Your Food for Macros

That really helps a lot! I feel more relieved just knowing

Anita

Great to see how this plays out in real life. Feels achievable to know you can still enjoy your favs!

I like that you showed the variety of food you eat. I love that you said home girl doesn’t want to cook some nights which I literally lol’d because I’m a single mom and full time PhD student so yea, mama don’t want to cook sometimes! I’m going shopping soon so I’m excited to not feel bad about the things I’m going to get 👍🏽
