It's true, we've been pretty adamant in the past that we don't focus on a number on the scale, but rather how we feel in our bodies. Our philosophy is based on the science of stabilizing your blood sugar. Eating for a stable blood sugar keeps your body working optimally, burning fat as fuel, as well as preventing hundreds of diseases. To keep your blood sugar stable, all 3 macros (carbs, proteins, and fat) should be eaten together. We take the guesswork out of calculating and tracking with our cookbooks and challenges.
Often times people come to CCN after trying to maintain restrictive diets for years. Because of this, their hormones are out of whack and when learning how to tap into intuitive eating, adding back a missing macronutrient into their diet (mainly carbs), and eating more frequently, some people may experience a plateau or even weight gain. It's important to us that our community understand the underlying causes of weight gain, the factors that would make weight loss difficult, and ways they can bio-hack the system to reach their goals.
