i recently starting using and liking MyFitnessPal's log feature. i had been a member but didn't use the logging feature on their site. they have an excellent forum, by the way, that covers everything such as exercise, eating, weight loss, success stories. but yah, i'm inconsistent in the logging, but i discovered what i needed to stop doing! i eat all my favorites too. edited to add: Actress Kathy Bates has lost a significant amount of weight. they asked her what she did. she said she read somewhere that your brain has a signal that's sort of like an "involuntary sigh" that tells you that you have had enough. a person needs to start listening for that. i started to do that - listening to my inner self. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kathy-b...ose-60-pounds/

Kathy Smith put it another way in her book "Getting Better". she said serve yourself half of what you normally eat. enjoy that portion, and stop, pause for about 10 minutes or so. if you're still hungry, eat one bite and wait/pause.

I use the MyMacros app (totally free). It has two years' worth of my daily logs. It's really taught me proper portion control and lets me know when I'm veering off course. I know a lot of people who don't enjoy tracking, but for me, I really like it. |
