So you have been trying different methods to lose weight or to maintain your weight below a certain number. Yet you either failed or just couldn't keep it up for as long as you should. Well, you are not alone in this many people try and fail if that's any consolation.
One of the ways to do that is counting calories, I have never understood it, and I always made fun of people who did it, especially when I saw them order a fatty burger and a zero calories diet coke, and made an argument that they are counting calories. Well, I'm a changed man but don't get me wrong I'll still laugh at that argument but now after trying it I truly understand what's it about, and how useful it could be.
So we stuff our faces with different foods around the clock impulsively everyday, especially those chocolates and snacks that are not planned as a meal but they just happen. Counting calories is the best way to consciously counter that behavior.
Getting yourself trained to think before you eat, is the most important aspect of calories counting. It's not about you having to get to a certain number of calories to lose weight. It's about you successfully thinking every time before you eat and then visualizing what the portion of (this piece of food you're going to stuff in your mouth) is to your planned daily intake.
None of what I say here is science, but it's out of personal experience. And I found this a really good technique to consciously control what I eat.
So bottom line, just count calories for a while to train yourself to think and visualize before you eat. and then you don't have to put any effort into it later once you form an idea of how many calories certain foods have. and most importantly eat lots of veggies and fruits for those foods have the best value for calories, and one last thing EXERCISE.
