I always thought hat the point of the diet is that you didn't have to count anything........and it works great that way. I don't know why people preach that as gospel.........I mean does anyone think I would lose weight if I took in 3320 calories per day . I can tell you from all those un-successful "counting" diets I can't

If you're hungry eat, and stop when satisfied......once we all learn to listen to our bodies, it gets simple. I wish I had started doing that years ago instead of living (and mostly dying) through the calculator
