When losing weight, you need to monitor your diet. However, not everyone wants to count calories and weigh their food constantly. To avoid this and not get weight, you need to eat intuitively, according to Ukrainian coach Yurii Popko.
How to stop counting calories and lose weight
According to the expert, to start eating intuitively, you need to have some knowledge.
In particular, you need to weigh food and count calories for some time.
You need to understand how many calories you have consumed, and how many you need to consume to gain or lose weight. You need to know how much protein, fat, or carbohydrates the products you eat contain.
When you do this day in and day out for a month, you develop a habit and you will intuitively know how many calories a product has.
