3 things I would never do as a weight loss dietitian…
Over the years I’ve seen and heard it all.
And I’m sure you’ve seen it too 🥴
So to set ALL the records straight, here are 3 things I would never do:
❌Leave the house without an emergency snack in my bag…sometimes we think we are just going to be out for a quick errand but end up being gone for longer than expected, and when this happens we are more likely to miss a meal and get hangry, and head to a drive through. Having a snack in your bag that has at least 15g of protein or fat will help keep you full until you’re able to go back home to eat a meal.
❌Track my calories…Yep, you heard me right. I do not have the patience or time for calorie counting, and my clients don’t either. Seriously though, have you ever tried to track a salad on one of those apps? It took me like 20 minutes. Calorie counting does not focus on well balanced nutrition, my portion control method does!
❌Go longer than 5 hours without eating…No matter how much you know about nutrition and healthy foods, you are far less likely to stay on track with your goals when you’re starving. Aiming to eat every 3-5 hours is a great goal to help prevent overeating later in the day.
Be sure to save this for later & share with a friend who needs it too.
