Never fat again.

The other day I was visited by one simple thought that I want to tell you about.

But first, a brief background.

My first attempts to count calories started already in 2019. Then I gave up on this and came back to it in the fall of 2020.

So I am for a pretty long time in this already.

I was lucky that I didn’t get into the wrong info with ridiculous fad diets with skewed focus into some of macros and the exclusion of specific products.

First, I was just stupidly entering my food into Fat Secret and it counted calories for me. I lost weight, then gained some, then lost again, then gained. Then I realized weight is just a volatile thing you shouldn’t give the first priority for.

I didn’t know if I was doing the right thing or not… But I just kept on doing it.

Later on, I advanced my knowledge with the science about lipids, proteins and carbs. And then about micronutrients. Step by step.

I was constantly experimenting, learning by trial and error. And constantly monitoring how my body reacts.

After I learned a looot of scientific research data, I did not feel better.
My head just exploded some days. I was focusing too much on daily weigh-ins, super-accurate food entry. It became more like an obsession…

I want to lose weight…
I don’t want to get fat…
I’m afraid I’ll get fat again…
I’m afraid to overeat…
I have to work in the gym…
I haven’t worked out, so I’ll be fat again…

Familiar?

And just a few days ago I realized one stupidly simple thing. You know, there are such moments?

You walk, and then you suddenly stop like being struck by lightning, open your mouth and roll your eyes … “So that’s it!”

I realized that by now counting calories removed my thoughts about weight almost for 100% from my head.

I just live, track my food and stick to my daily calorie budget. That’s it.

Literally THAT IS ALL I NEED TO DO. NO MORE WORRIES ABOUT WEIGHT. AT ALL.

Full autopilot.

Calorie counting has already become so integrated into my life that sometimes I don’t even notice how I enter my favorite bagel in Fat Secret.

Or when I open my fridge I check Fat Secret for “how much I need to eat.”

I stopped thinking in terms of “losing weight” or even caring about it.

This shift in my consousness changed my life. I am not afraid of getting fat again. It is such a relief!

And as I am through that long way I am ready to share it with you how to become lean and never fat again. For life. It is real and it is pretty simple when you know how 🙂

And I know how and ready to help you!
