I’ve always dismissed calorie counting/food diary concept, but now I’ve actually done it it’s worked instantly to change my eating habits & I cut down on unnecessary calories immediately
I’ve just never been a calorie counting person in general & also I figured “I can remember in my head what I’ve eaten today & how bad/good they are generally, what difference is writing it down going to make”.
But it makes a HUGE difference.
Immediately on the first day I was like “Ok so I can’t have this snack at the end of the day as I’ve reached maximum calories” & went to sleep feeling a little bit hungry, which I haven’t had the discipline to do & haven’t let myself feel this feeling in absolutely years.
Bear in mind at that time the only thing I would have eaten to fill that void would be junk food & it’s not even proper hunger, I just let myself get so used to feeding the slightest pang of hunger straight away.
I think I’m enjoying that feeling of hunger as it feels like I’m achieving something & I enjoy & appreciate what I do eat more. I drink a lot of water at that point too.
I’ve kept this up for a few days now which isn’t a huge deal, but is a huge first step for me & my way of thinking & physically feeling.
I downloaded the top app Nutrecheck, which I’m really liking. Only now I’ve realised I’m using the 1 week free trial & it’s going to cost £4 a week to carry on using it. Not keen on spending so much on an app, but the rest don’t seem that great from the reviews.
