003: Why We Use Calorie Tracking for Weight Loss and Maintenance at TMN

In our 3-month Lifestyle Reset Program, we teach our clients calorie tracking to help them reach their weight loss goals. At the end of the day, weight loss happens when you’re burning more calories than you’re consuming, but there are so many benefits to tracking your food intake beyond weight loss. In this episode, I’m sharing all the ways our clients benefit from it when we first start working together, and how it eventually helps them to continue losing weight while eating intuitively when they stop tracking.

Many people don’t realize how much they are overeating or even under-eating until they track their calorie intake. Even if you don’t track calories, research shows that keeping some sort of food journal is beneficial for weight loss because it draws attention to what and how much you’re consuming. Calories are an equalizer among foods. Calorie tracking allows so much flexibility in what you’re eating, because as long as you stay within your calorie goal, you will lose weight. Clients are always surprised they can still enjoy their favorite foods, deserts, and drinks in our program, and we encourage it because it makes their weight loss so much more sustainable. Hi!
