QUESTIONS I ASK AMBER IN THE EPISODE:
- What’s your story? (Specifically, what led you to start Biceps After Babies?)
- In your Instagram profile, you say you “turn dieters into macro scientists.” Why macros, not calories?
- Can you explain the basics of macro counting?
- Do you recommend that everyone get familiar with counting macros, or just people with a certain goal (like strength or weight loss)? Why?
- What are some of the most common mistakes people make when counting macros?
- What do you say to people who say that macro counting is just another term for dieting?
- You posted: “The best part about running on a treadmill is when you run past the treadmill and go lift weights instead.” LOL! Have you always preferred strength training? Why strength training vs. cardio?
- Can you touch on the idea of maintainable vs. attainable weight? Why is it so important to distinguish between the two?
