In all honesty, if you’ve never tracked or weighed your food, how do you know what a serving size looks like? Go weigh out a serving of peanut butter and send me a picture of your shocked face when you see how small the serving size actually is.
Can’t I use my palm, thumbs, hands, toes to measure my food? You can, but this is still a form of tracking, granted it’s a half-assed attempt at tracking but tracking none-the-less. Why put in the same amount of work for a less than optimal return? Work smarter, not harder!
How about I just eat healthy? I’m not even sure what this means but that protein bar you just ate has 400 calories in it, and it’s 7:30 am. Oh, you felt low on energy, so you ate two – make that 800 calories. You only get 1200 more for the day…..YIKES!
If your goal is weight loss, then put the time in, especially in the beginning, and track your food. Learn what a serving size looks like. Learn how much something weighs. By putting in this work early, you’ll be much more confident about your food, especially during the times you may not have a scale (going out to eat). By learning, you’ll know what a serving size is at a restaurant and be able to track wisely, with little to no added stress.
If you don’t want to do the work, there are plenty of detoxes, diet pills, metabolism boosters, waist trainers, shakes, and fat creams out there that will definitely get you results. (Sarcasm)
