Because I am doing no particular diet, it can be confusing which self diet I should make for myself. I started out this week, with just portion control. Only eating at breakfast, lunch, snack, and then dinner. But I was struggling with this because I felt like I didn't put boundaries on the food I was allowing myself to have!
So after 4 days of that, I have decided to follow the, "Calorie Diet." I've already looked up the laws of the diet, the amount I should have in a day, and the amount I should have at my weight if I would like to lose weight.
This morning I started labeling the foods that I normally eat, while on a diet, with the amount of grams = calorie. This way I can just look at the bag or box and immediately know how much I can have for how many calories!
I've also designated a journal just for logging my calories! Inside this journal is also a list of fruits and vegetables. I chose the ones that I eat all the time and next to them are their calories and the amount I can eat!
So are their anybody else doing this particular diet? Any advice you would give to a beginner?
