Thanks for including me The Equine Chronicle. Great read!

We learn and share information about keeping our equine athletes healthy and treated with the best of care at horse shows–especially long horse shows.

But when it comes to our own health while navigating the horse show environment, it can easily be one of those things that simply falls to the wayside. So how can we make a plan that includes a healthy diet, exercise, and self-care, then actually stick to it to while at the show?

It all begins with effective strategies to help navigate the temptation of convenience foods and maintain a balanced diet and exercise regimen at the show.

Hear from Nutrition Coach Jenna Tolson, Personal Coach Sharon Costa, and Mindset Coach Lauren Crivelli - also all horsewomen - about those strategies: ↙️

Always hungry on a diet? Then you’ll love this…

First things first — you know how when you start to eat in a calorie deficit, you get SO hungry that food is all you can think about?

Well, the plan I’ve created for you virtually eliminates that struggle.
How?

By taking a macro-based approach to nutrition.

“Macro” is short for “macronutrients”, which are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

These are essentially the “building blocks” of our diet, and they’re what your body uses for fuel.

So, taking a macro-based approach means instead of focusing on how many calories you’re eating, you’re focusing on giving your body the right kind of calories.

That means rather than just cutting calories out of your diet (which can make you feel tired, hungry, and irritable because you’ve cut down on critical fuel)...

You’re making sure every calorie counts.

This can help you:
● Feel fuller and more satisfied after meals so you’re less likely to crave unhealthy snacks (or think about food all day long)
● Achieve more sustained energy levels throughout the day, which can help you avoid an afternoon crash
● Gain more muscle tone and improve your recovery time, especially if you’re active or want to work fitness into your routine
● And feel happier, healthier, and more energized on your way to your goals!

To do this, you need to know what mix of macros works best for you — which is exactly what the plan I’ve created helps you do!
Plus, it gives you a clear roadmap for implementing this balanced approach in a way that fits into your life.

BONUS: I've also included a few optional workouts for you this time!

I coach all of my clients using Flexible Dieting Strategies. Flexible dieting can be compared to horseback riding in a few different ways:

Just as a skilled rider must learn to adjust their movements and cues to work with the horse they are riding, flexible dieters must learn to adjust their food choices and portion sizes to fit their individual needs and goals.

Horses come in all different shapes and sizes, and what works for one horse may not work for another. Similarly, each person has unique dietary needs and preferences, and flexible dieting allows for individualization to achieve success.

A good horseback rider knows they can't just hop on a horse and expect everything to go perfectly. They need to put in the time and effort to build a relationship with the horse, learn its quirks and tendencies, and adjust their approach accordingly. Similarly, flexible dieters need to put in the time and effort to learn about their own bodies, their food choices, and their relationship with food in order to succeed.

Finally, horseback riding can be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience when done well, and so too can flexible dieting. Both require discipline and hard work, but the end result is worth it.

If you're interested in trying out Flexible Dieting and seeing how it might work for you, I am launching my 28-day Women's Macro Challenge. This is the perfect way to test the waters for one month. Doors close this Friday, June 7th and we start on Monday, June 10th!
