    The advice around the 7 min mark of: "track protein, track calories, let carbs and fats fall where they may" is probably the highest impact strategy I've found on my nutrition journey

    • @dorzhowe1305
      @dorzhowe1305 Місяць тому +8

      Yes! This is what I've been doing and it absolutely works. I've found tracking my carbs and fats is quite hard but it's pretty easy to track protein and calories.

    • @graygreysangui
      @graygreysangui Місяць тому +7

      I also track fiber and water. Fiber because when I only track protein and calories has left me constipated every few days. Water when I think I am hungry doesn't give me enough time to feel if it was what I wanted before the taste of what I think I want to eat. The trend of carrying around water bottles has been one of the best things to come about recently.

    I have it easy. I am absolutely 100% fine with a very repetitive diet. I can eat the same lunch for ten days in a row and I don't mind a bit. It's rather like Steve Jobs or Mark Zucherburg's single outfit strategy for freeing up mental bandwidth. Therefore, I make up a menu of 4 or 5 breakfasts, ditto lunches and dinners, and plow my way through them over and over again. (Did I mention I have a mild case OCD?) It's easy; everything is pre-measured (except for vegetables, since it's really hard to throw off your macros with a half cup of veggies), it is extremely frugal because there is no food waste, it is very convenient, I have a standing order with the supermarket and have my food delivered to me. Easy-peasy. I've lost 200 pounds, and only 30 to go! I firmly believe that success lies NOT in exercizing willpower, but in making the good habits easier than the bad habits that got you in trouble in the first place. Thanks for excellent (and frequently amusing) instructional videos..

      I have applied the same strategy since May, combined with macro and calorie tracking. I basically eat the same template of breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening snack every day (except rare occasions such as birthdays or celebrations). For me I also don't get bored of it but I do little variations in every meal: breakfast is with a lot of fruit so I mix up the types according to seasons or promotions in the supermarket. Lunch is always a salad but the source of starchy carbs and protein varies: cold rice and chicken; couscous and tuna; bread and egg; or any combination. Dinner is usually a tomato sauce with lots of veggies (which varies) and roasted pollock (where I play with the seasonings). Evening snack is a yoghurt with protein powder and more fruits, kind of like breakfast.
      Sorry for the long reply but I am so happy to hear someone with a similar process to mine because most people think I'm nuts when I tell them I eat almost the same every day (which is not really true if you look at the details). 😅

      First off, congrats on your hard work and consistency paying off! Definitely agree it is in finding the habits we can repeat consistently in line with our needs and goals and lifestyle. And knowing those habits will look different for each of us, built off that awareness of where we are starting from and what is important to us too. But the more we have that accurate picture of what we're doing, whether it is tracking in a food tracker, tracking our portions by repeating meals or tracking through pictures and visual guides, we want to have that clarity on what is and isn't working to be empowered to adjust as we need. As nothing in one form also works forever even as our bodies, needs and goals change!

It can be done if you make your food all the time one portion a time, othetvise not really. :( And compearing weighing your food every time you eat to making cookie and weighing the ingredients for it is very disingenous. Even if you weigh the ingredients for the cookie you can not track your calories just if you eat the whole batch is one day and you don't share it...😂

      Many restaurants have nutritional info on their websites these days. And often I use visual portion guides and find recipes that are similar for the accountability while estimating. Also soups and casseroles are easy. You create a recipe and enter the servings then weigh out the portion you put in your bowl. There is deviation in everything but that gives you overall data to use and track. And honestly, if I do make a batch of cookies, I may enter the recipe and then select the number of cookies I do based on serving to log :-)

    Did you just disparage Doritos???!!??!
    That was sarcasm.
    I believe satan himself is responsible for the formulation and packaging size of Doritos.
    For as difficult as it is to not eat the whole package the damned things should come in a canvas bucket with a head strap.

    Half of it isn't food anymore but protein shakes

      I actually don't include many protein shakes and don't often even do one every day nor do I push clients to use supplements. They are supplemental. But if shakes help you, finding your balance is key!

    Can confirm, had financial issues, wasn’t talking to my family and was going through a divorce.
    I made these four dietary changes and my problems are solved.
    Truthfully though - great video.
