Hey Friend,

  I belong to a few groups on Facebook and one group in particular that I was in yesterday had to do with fasting. That was what the group was for; people who fast.

  And I couldn't believe some of the stuff I was reading.

  One person asked about what to eat when not fasting.

  This is a rather large group, somewhere around 161,000 members.

  So there were a lot of comments.

  And what blew me away, was when a few people mentioned keeping track of calories and eating some carbs but making sure you only count the "net carbs".

  What?!?!!?

  I haven't heard that term in a really long time.

  The term net carbs was brought up a lot during the low carb craze that we went through back in the late 90's.

  And it got me thinking once again; why do people make it so difficult?

  So I chimed in and gave this woman my advice that I'm going to share with you here.

  Stick to your fasting schedule, and when you eat, be sure that most of your food is real food and not procssed/boxed/packaged/fake food and stay away or have very little sugar.

  That's it.

  No need to track calories or macros (except try and get a good amount of protein) and certainly no reason to even know what a net carb is, let alone keep track of them.

  It's so frustrating for someone like me to see so many people making weight loss so complicated.

  It's really not.

  We just want to make it that way for some reason.

  We like to make things harder than they really are.

  Maybe because then we won't feel like we've failed if we're unable to lose weight.

  "Ugh, it's not my fault, it's so damn hard to lose weight."

   Is it though?

   Is it really that hard?

   Or is it just that you might be lacking the willpower or the mental fortitude to be able to eat like an adult and not snack on chips and ice cream, etc.?

  I think if you're really honest with yourself Friend, you'd agree that how to go about losing weight is very simple.

  It's following through on it that's the hard part.

  Think back to the 1930's and 40's and 50's, when almost everyone was thin....there was certainly no such thing as counting your calories or tracking your macros, right?

  And did anyone even know what the hell a net carb was back then?

  I highly doubt it.

  If that's the case, why in the hell do we need to start tracking them now in order to lose weight?

  We don't.

  We just like to make things harder than they need to be.

  Not me though.

  And hopefully not you after reading this.
