I lost weight, as planned. I was able to plan around eating shit like pastries and 'fast food' (fries, pizza, ice cream...) without guilt, since I managed to hit my calorie target anyway. Rarely did I find myself hangry because of poorly spacing my meals or not eat enough protein and fiber. Most of the time I was chilling.
I remember at the beginning weighing everything was a hassle, and I was terrified of going to eat at friends' because it'd be weird to take my scale with me. I eventually learned which things I had to weigh or measure (like oils, powders like sugar or flour, pasta, and rice) and which I could eye out (like veggies and stuff with standardized portions like sliced bread). Of course, when I ate outside, I'd have to eye it all, but it worked well enough because I never deviated from the expected weight loss.
What about you? Are you planning on starting? Have you been doing it?
Haha thanks for asking.
I'm trying to cut junk food out first , later on vegetarianism, then veganism and at some point after that, calorie restriction.
Cutting out junk food is probably easy mode calorie restriction
Not eating trash food is a big improvement.
Just as a note; if you want to start a certain diet consult it first with an nutritionist/dietist. Just to be sure if you're doing the correct thing for your health.
