21 day fix

Weight loss isn't about luck, but maths, and using correct tools correctly. You lose weight when you stick to a calorie deficit. If this plan provides you with a calorie deficit, and you stick to it, you will lose weight. I have lost 50 pounds, and kept them off, by counting calories and eating properly. I had lost 45 pounds, and regained, and then some, by trying to follow a so-called healthy diet and counting calories. Lesson learnt was that I don't do well with outside imposed restriction, but I do very well with making my own decisions and planning my own meals.

I like to look at it like this. On the one hand: Correct amounts of food isn't a fixed amount, and a healthy diet isn't foods from a list. Nutrition isn't an exact science. We humans are adaptable and resilient, but we need enough food, and thrive on variety. Over time, eating a little more at some meals, or days, and a little less on other occasions, will still lead to good health, including a good weight. It's consistently eating too much and/or unbalanced that is no good. On the other hand: Weighing is way more accurate than cramming into boxes. If you log/track your food, you can also be a lot more flexible, and through "learning by doing", you will teach yourself what appropriate portions and balanced meals look like, on a plate, not just in a box.
