Instead of Counting Macros Focus on This

I consider it a great privilege to get asked to answer hundreds of questions a day and luckily I have an amazing team to help our community…     Also, having the ability to see what people care about the most allows me an endless stream of podcast and article topics…     One of which has been popular lately seems to revolve around how many grams of carbohydrates, protein, and fat you should consume per day…   And while I’ve created extremely precise diet plans like this for athletes, figure competitors, and celebrities, for everyday living it’s simply not worth your time (or effort)…   The reason I say that is because you can get 90%+ of those same results without all the weighing, measuring, and stress…     That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 908 I want to share with you the simple meal planning template I use in my Functional Medicine practice to help people reach their wellness and body transformation goals (healthily) – Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/908 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
