Why I don’t calorie count
•I quickly become obsessed with numbers and begin restricting
•I can see the same results without counting calories by eating cleaner, drinking enough water, and listening to my body by eating intuitively.
If you count calories and can do so in healthy way, that’s awesome!
But as someone who has never had a healthy relationship with food, calorie restriction is simply unrealistic for me and quickly becomes unhealthy both mentally and physically.
Many people find that calorie counting can create an unhealthy mindset towards food. Instead of focusing on numbers, consider embracing a healthier eating philosophy that prioritizes whole foods and intuitive eating. This approach involves listening to your body’s hunger signals and choosing nourishing foods that make you feel good. Incorporating a variety of foods, such as whole avocados, Japanese sweet potatoes, and greens, supports overall health and wellness. Staying hydrated and being mindful of your eating habits can also contribute significantly to your well-being. It’s essential to cultivate a positive relationship with food that emphasizes enjoyment and balance rather than restriction. By adopting these practices, you can foster a sustainable lifestyle that is both satisfying and nourishing.
