<p>It's like tracing paper [I've not used this since school]</p> <p><br> <br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>If you’ve read these blogs before, you’ll know we often recommend tracking our food.</p> <p>You know – punching what we eat into an app like MyFitnessPal.</p> <p>Not forever like.</p> <p>Although some people do like to carry on doing it the majority of the time.</p> <p>But 3-5 days is normally enough to get some useful insight.</p> <p>To get some knowledge going forward.</p> <p>Any approach to change our food works (from a weight loss perspective) if it creates a calorie deficit.</p> <p>Doesn’t if it doesn’t.</p> <p>Many FitPros (or your mate who has lost weight) will recommend a particular ‘method’.</p> <p>Keto, Intermittent Fasting, 5:2, points, Atkins, portion control, food group elimination (cutting out a particular food), etc, etc.</p> <p>All can work if that deficit is there.</p> <p>None work automatically.</p> <p>Tracking will give us the basic ‘shape’ of what we’re doing.</p> <p>And we can continue ‘fill that in’ over time.</p> <p>Like tracing paper.</p> <p>Use it.</p> <p>Then remove it.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Much love,</p> <p>‘Track and’ Jon Hall</p>
