Tracking Macros

After Jade became more serious with her nutrition, she then started to use macro tracking, something she’d never done before.

Here’s Jade talking about venturing into macro tracking;

“I whipped my nutrition into better shape about a year ago – and now after consistently eating a fairly clean diet, I’ve decided to take the next step… macro tracking *braces self* this is something I’ve been hesitant about for a while because as you make adjustments and adaptions doing too much too soon can be overwhelming and discouraging!”

Being Gluten Intolerant

At the age of 21, Jade found out that she was gluten intolerant, which has since made a huge impact on her life, and health.

Jade says that even the slightest difference can result in the biggest changes;

“Food allergies! (Just found out 21 years later I’m gluten intolerant which has made a tremendous difference already) It’s amazing how the slightest tweak can go a long way.” – Jade Ramey
