  • Ep. 247 - To Track or Not to Track? | Calorie Counting vs Intuitive Eating | Portion Distortion | Food Noise | Short-Term Tracking for Fasting Success
    Sep 17 2024
    In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss the significant impact of portion distortion and food tracking on weight loss in their podcast "Fasting for Life". We highlight that portion sizes have drastically increased since the 1980s, making it easier to over consume and overlook nutritional content. We emphasize the usefulness of short-term food tracking to gain awareness and adjust habits, advocating for a balanced approach that combines fasting with occasional tracking for sustainable weight loss. We conclude that tracking can provide a crucial awareness tool, especially in overcoming the modern challenge of persistent "food noise," or constant thoughts about food.
