All this time I thought I was doing a good job eating clean. But this article told me something I already knew but was also an ah-ha moment: if nutrition is the majority of your weight loss equation, why not focus more on nutrition vs exercise? I had been doing it all wrong!
It's true what they say that counting calories is tedious. But guess what? That's what it takes to lose weight! It's science. Especially for me, the one who is having a difficult time shedding those last five pounds. Counting calories is thee key!
These past couple weeks I began not only planning my meals, but counting each and every morsel that was going to go into my mouth. I pre-counted each calorie I was going to consume, and I caught myself getting hungry between meals and snacks!! But this wasn't hunger, it was actually thirst! All the previous times I had not planned I was putting a snack in my mouth when really all my body needed was calorie-free water! Then almost immediately my thirst
(fake huger pang) was gone!! My body tricked me, ugh!
Now that I know what my body is doing, I can trick it back by simply drinking water instead.
Snacking can get dangerous! Before you know it, you've consumed an extra 500-1000 calories in one day! You can't lose weight at that rate unless you work out 4 hours a day. And I don't know about you but I have other things to do.
