Hey Y'all.
This may or may not be of interest but i think calorie counting is seriously helpful in many ways and unfairly blamed for a lot of things.
This year i decided i needed to change my habits and behaviors otherwise my health issues and weight gain were only going to continue. I decided to create phases or stages for my weight loss as my biggest downfall has always been doing to much too soon. You know this: eating all the "bad food", buying veggies with no plan on how to use them, thinking im going to wake up early and excercise and cut out sugar etc. And of course it falls flat.
Instead i decided to soley focus on no soda and calorie counting at a moderate defecit for stage 1. I didnt excessively analyze the nutrition other than avoiding sugar and i didnt judge myself. Slowly my food choices got better and i feel so much better physically.i lost 30 pounds before incorporating exercise and dialing in on my nutrition.
Calorie counting has allowed me to enjoy all types of food while maintaining a caloric defecit. I feel like this will prepare me for when im in matainance. Rather than obsessivness and perfection calorie counting is often portrayed as i feel it has helped me find balance and moderation.
Just my 2 cents and hopefully it gives some of you a different perspective on calorie counting if your new to this
Quick edit- im well aware that calorie counting can be dangerous for those with disordered eating and other issues. I have also used calorie counting in the past in an inappropriate and obsessive manner. My point for this post is that you should give calorie counting a solid chance and with a positive, balanced and realistic mindset. For me this was a game changer that let me incorporate my favorite foods which kept me consistent and on track.
hugs take care if yourselves physically, mentally and emotionally.
