I don't even know if this is a real thing, but sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the food info out there. I know all about paleo, vegetarianism, veganism, GMOs, omega 6: omega 3 ratios, farmed fish vs wild, mercury toxicity, gluten intolerance, hormone disrupters, TDEE, etc, etc. Sometimes I just wish I knew nothing because I always second guess what I'm eating. I know that weight loss is ultimately about calories but I can't shake the annoying info-swirl in my head.
I haven't been as consistent as I need to be, and it usually has something to do with this. For example, I was doing pretty well slowly but consistently losing for a few weeks. Then I thought that I probably wasn't eating enough fat (using Pam spray to cook my egg whites, non-fat salad dressing on my salad with chicken breast, etc.) and I worried what that would do to me and suddenly, I started to doubt myself and stopped tracking my calories altogether.
Any ideas to stop getting side tracked by this stuff? I want to eat healthfully, but I need to lose weight, too. Why does this seem so hard to do?? Ugh.

Because everything can be the debil, but the truth is, nothing is. Now go have some chicken wings and a beer and chill.0
