The simple idea of “mind over munch” has helped me lose over 53 lbs so far. Real talk. Your videos are the best. Thank you for helping me become a healthier and happier me!

just discovered your youtube channel! im loving it. I tried all the diets out there, atkins, keto, vegetarian, vegan, strictly counting macros. I ended up losing weight but nothing stuck long term and I ended up gaining all the weight back. I love to workout. I now have a personal trainer too and he told me to STOP eliminating and stop dieting. I am now starting to practice portion control, which is hard, considering i am used to eliminating food from my diet. I also do not strictly count calories anymore. All these rules, i think just overwhelmed me thats why I kept gaining the weight back. Now, I just follow a guide by precision nutrition. a fistful of veggies, , palm of protein, cupped hand of carbs and thumb size of fat. Little adjustments here and there, like i eat a bit more carbs when I work out and limit them during the times I dont. Have you heard of this? its really helping me not feel deprived! i feel like it will work long term!

I know all about macros, but this is the best source of information on macros. i liked your clear simple explanation and i especially liked that you made a point to say that everyone is different and we all need to choose what is right for us as individuals! i preach this ALL the time!

This comment section is so innocent. It reminds me of a simpler time

[Liz-tlyb]

OMG thank you! It is so hard to find good information that is simple to follow & doesn't overwhelm. This was exactly what I was looking for.

[TheBertandernie]

Thank you. I learned a lot from this, it is something that I have learned in the past, but didn’t fully understand. I still have some questions even now. But I just wanted to say that I’ve lost 20 lbs over the past 4 months, and I did not do any sort of low carb. I just did low calorie and worked my ass off at the gym. I’m at a healthy weight now. Before I lost the 20lbs, I was at the high end of having a healthy BMI. I was right there at the end of that range. So, now I’ve lost the 20 lbs and am feeling pretty good so I’m trying to learn how to really get a tone, lean body. It seems so hard but I’m going to keep trying.
