Jacob Saunders is a Certified Personal Trainer at Goodlife in Orangeville, Ontario who has been working in the industry for 8 years.

This episode is all about counting calories and why it should never be the first choice for gen pop individuals who want to lose weight. Jacob makes the argument for habit-based weight loss strategies and how to implement those habits into your lifestyle or your clients'. He makes the case for counting calories being a form of disordered eating, how to develop mindfulness and awareness around hunger cues, why building habits is better than counting calories for achieving longterm weight loss success, how to leverage motivational interviewing techniques when consulting with a weight loss client, why our words matter when it comes to discussing a weight loss plan, signs of disordered eating and what to do to support a healthy relationship with food, examples of normal eating behaviours and a HUGE announcement!
