[quote=Anonymous]I’m figuring this out too.

Last year I did a particular diet, tracking # of servings of food categories (proteins, veggies, only 2 carbs a day, etc)

I lost weight.

I’ve maintained the exact same exercise routine, have gotten really fit and strong. But, I can lose 0-5 pounds and fluctuate. I’m eating whatever I want, but you know not like dessert every night.

I’m just happier not thinking about it. When I was tracking, *i though about food all day* I’m not exaggerating. It was a very easy few months in my life—good napping kids, challenging one in school. And I could spend TIME thinking about, planning, shopping, and prepping food AND eating it took time also. Nutrient dense food, much of it raw, takes TIME to chew! Ha ha.

I have many, many more things on my plate this year, and I do not have time to plan it so carefully. I’m happier. And it’s funny realizing it’s ALL within my control. I could control my eating + lose, or be lax + maintain. (While exercising)

My next step is to find a way to just improve / think about it ~ the same amount of time, kind of the best of both worlds. I don’t want to turn down that summer peach cobbler, but maybe I don’t nee it everyday.

Last note: my rockstar of a bod girlfriend eats BORINGLY healthy most of the time, but let’s completely loose on vacation. Her thing is if you show up and eat healthy 300+ days of the year, holidays and vacations aren’t going to kill you.

I just.... don’t go on a lot of vacations or special nights out. My life is already really boring ha ha. [/quote]
