A: This is probably the most common question we are asked. And, in some ways, it was the most difficult to answer.
After all, weight management is a fairly simple equation. Eat more calories than you burn and you gain weight. Eat fewer calories than you burn, and weight loss.
Except counting calories is not that simple. And the human brain is not a calculation engine food.
For one thing, the calorie count is not correct. Ultimately, the long-term success depends on you to develop and use, your innate signaling system. That is why counting calories, while it sometimes produces results in the short term, often backfire in the long run.
In addition, it was annoying to weigh, measure, and calculate all your meals. Especially when there is an easier way.
We recommend beginning with hand-size portion estimating instead. Here how it works:
• Your palm determines your protein portions.
• Your fist determines your veggie portions.
• Your cupped hand determines your carb portions.
• Your thumb determines your fat portions.
This system counts your calories for you, and gets your macronutrients lined up too, without having to do any fancy kitchen math.
Plus, your hands are portable—they go wherever you go, making portion-sizing very convenient.
