Hey Reader

Let’s be honest:

Tracking calories works great for some people, but not for everyone.

Some love the structure. Others feel stressed, obsessed, or just don’t have time to log every food into an app.

If you’re in that second group—you’re not wrong. You just need a different approach that better fits your life.

Here are 5 simple strategies to get healthy and, if this is your goal, lose fat without counting calories:

1. Prioritize high-fiber, whole foods. Minimally processed foods like fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins are packed with nutrients and fiber—helping you stay full longer with fewer cravings.
2. Eat protein at every meal. Protein not only helps you feel satisfied, but also supports muscle (which is key for fat loss). Think Greek yogurt, eggs, beans, chicken, tofu—there are plenty of tasty, easy options.
3. Limit liquid calories. Drinks like soda, juice, alcohol, and sugary coffee add up quickly and don’t keep you full. Try to get most of your calories from solid, nutritious foods.
4. Allow treats in small amounts. You don’t need to cut out your favorite foods. I follow and teach the 80/20 approach: 80% whole foods, 20% flexibility. This makes healthy eating feel normal, not like a punishment.
5. Prioritize sleep. Poor sleep leads to more cravings, more hunger, and lower motivation. Aim for 7–9 hours each night to support your metabolism, mood, and consistency.
