How to Navigate Weight Loss Without Tracking and Counting Calories

Counting and tracking macros and calories makes weight loss MUCH easier and efficient, 100% no doubt about that.

That’s because when you measure your food intake, you have tangible numbers to go off and you know how much food you eat on a daily basis, it’s easy to make adjustments as needed in order to drop yourself into a deficit. 

However, sometimes I work with people who are triggered by numbers, have a tendency to get obsessive, or have eating disorders or a history of eating disorders. In this case, tracking is not always beneficial.

Tackling weight loss by managing daily habits can yield some great results as well. Is it as efficient as counting calories and macros? Of course not.

But having the goal to lose weight should NOT compromise your mental health or send you back into a spiral you just worked years to get out of. 

Here are some examples of specific goals you can implement throughout the week to achieve weight loss without counting and tracking calories.

1. Eat the majority of your meals at home 

2. Drink 3 liters of water a day, no sodas or juices

3. Consider intermittent fasting

4. Prioritize protein at every meal: shoot for 1-2 servings of it per meal

5. Eat a veggie at every meal 

6. Cut back on processed foods/ added sugar

7. Reduce or cut out alcohol

8. Consume complex carbohydrates over processed carbs
