How Andrea Started Losing Weight When She Stopped Counting Macros
In Eva's return from hiatus, she's welcoming special guest and client Andrea, who shares her journey from relying on macro counting to exploring and embodying intuitive eating.
Andrea candidly shares how she initially resisted the idea of intuitive eating due to a fear of letting go of the food rules she’d been living by.
Andrea, a money coach for women of color, draws parallels between her coaching methods and her own experience with intuitive eating and losing weight without counting macros or spending hours at the gym. She emphasizes the shift from relying on external rules to embracing intentional decision-making using her prefrontal cortex, a concept she applies to both her finances and now, food choices.

”Food doesn't feel so intense anymore. It's just food. It doesn't have to be the main event. I can be part of moments without needing to eat, and that's okay.” - Andrea Ramos
"Planning my food gets me more of what I want. I get to enjoy food, hit my goals, and have a healthier relationship with eating. It's not about taking away my freedom; it's about giving me more choices and more control.” - Andrea Ramos

I have been trying to lose weight for about 3 years off and on. I have learned from this podcast that I am an emotionally eater and I never knew the impact of my mindset on my weight loss journey. I have learned so many tools from listening to Eva. I am confident that I will achieve my weight loss goals while becoming a better and healed person from the inside out🖤 Thank you Eva! You’re amazing!

Being “healthy” feels like a full time job and I don’t think I’ve ever really been healthy enough to feel its impact and benefits. This podcast and Eva’s coaching have been so helpful during a chaotic time in my life where “healthy” is an afterthought. As someone whose world revolves around work and my family, this process with Eva has helped me remember to take care of ME and figure out how to navigate being healthy, being kind to myself, and building a sustainable lifestyle over a trendy diet and workout regimen. Love the tone of this podcast because it’s finally making curves, self-esteem, and weight loss super relatable and down to earth. Thank you, Eva!!
