Okay I have a serious problem! I have tried the 'counting calories diet' before; it work but not in long term; as in the end eating food and counting calories became such an obsession as I gained back ALL the weight I had lost (maybe even more). Personally I started eating healthy. For example today I have eaten 2 Greek yogurts (fat and sugar free) oatmeal 3 bananas 3 apples 2 kiwis (OKAY I am guilty I love fruits) a huge salad one chicken breast grilled with hot peppers and a piece of dark chocolate (90% dark which actually helps your heart <3 ). But if I count the calories of the food that I have eaten is like 1550 calories. It exceeds my calories restrict by 350 calories ( I am really petite and If I want to lose weight I have to eat 1200 calories and burn 200 calories by exercise -____- )
But really I cant count calories; personally I think is so UNnatural to count your hunger by numbers. You have hormones for that. Plus 1500 calories chips and milk chocolate is not the same with 1500 calories of healthy food, fruits and a little piece of chocolate! What do you think?
