Whether you're a competitor, a lifestyle client, or just trying to find food freedom, this conversation is a must-listen.

✨ 5 Key Takeaways

1. Macros are a Language, Not a Limitation
   Understanding macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats—and yes, fiber!) helps you build flexibility, not fear. It’s about fluency, not restriction.

2. Meal Plans Can Shrink Your Body—and Your Joy
   Yvette’s journey shows how rigid meal plans can leave you depleted. A macro-based approach restored her energy, improved her performance, and helped her place better in competitions.

3. Whole Foods Win—but Balance Matters
   While yes, you can fit a Pop-Tart in your macros, the long-term focus should be on nutrient density, fiber, and satiety. Real food fuels real performance.

4. Fruit Is Not the Enemy, Fiber Is the Hero
   Say goodbye to fruit fear! With fiber-rich, whole foods (including fruit), your body benefits from slower digestion, reduced blood sugar spikes, and more sustained energy.

5. Sustainability Over Perfection
   The best plan is the one you can actually stick to. Whether you’re prepping for stage or for life, your approach should be doable, empowering, and supportive of your mental health.
