Stop listening to random, unqualified people on the internet.”Eat as much as you want” is terrible advice to anyone that’s part of a weight loss support group.
The only way to both lose weight AND maintain that weight loss is to build awareness about the calorie content in foods in relation to your total daily calorie intake.
What actually helps? Clearly stating the total calories in a measurable serving size (for example: “just 160cal in 1/3 cup!”). Every individual is unique. Some people might have the caloric budget to eat that 1/3 cup serving size, and others might have the caloric budget to eat an entire cup of it. But telling anyone and everyone to “eat as much as you want” is ignorant, misleading, and unhelpful.
If you’re tired of receiving careless advice, consider health and nutrition coaching with someone like me - someone who’s certified and coaches with integrity.
