It’s so simple right?

Track your food….and be in a slight deficit….fkn simple right

Let’s not let things like….

Disordered ways of looking at nutrition

Habitual cravings

Physiological/hormonally driven eating patterns

Stress eating

The stress of logging all your food 

Sometimes decades of bad habits 

The steep learning curve to actually track food properly 

Ruin the sales scam of telling people it’s “so easy” to drop weight 

I struggled for a long time on trying to learn how to manage my own diet and body composition and I use that experience and knowledge to actually coach people to the same level of freedom

It’s been a minute since I have done anything respectable over head…and still have not 😂

But 40kg for 10 easy reps is much better then 20kg for 3 painful reps

I’m sure you have had your partner, kid or house mate question the sanity in weighing your salad or vegetables 🫠

This is not an argument of….you can not get fat from eating vegetables and salad or there are no calories in them because in theory you can get fat from eating them as there are calories in all foods.

Instead look at it like this, if you are weighing and measuring your least calorie dense food then you need to be measuring, tracking and logging every single thing you eat and that is not a sustainable practice.

Are you willing to never eat anything other then what YOU cook and prepare?

Do you only make single ingredient foods, so you can accurately measure the calories?

Are you in a genuine deficit dropping at least 0.8% of your body weight per week?

If you answered no to any of the above then weighing your veggies is not a rational thing to do💯

Here is a very common scenario

Blow our diet on weekend but still measure your veggies during the week…this is simply creating the illusion of control.

So what do you do?

Trust your self to just eat a consistent amount of vegetables and if that scares you set your measurable calories a little lower 💯
