Rep Power: 9893 | | | Thanks Leigh!
After seeing your demo I decided to buy a food scale (a good digital one for only $20! I was happy about that) and see what I was really eating. After two days of measuring and weighing, I realize I was about 400 cals over what I thought I was at. I'm trying for a two pound a week loss, so 1000cals under a week, and with that extra 400 cals no wonder I've only lost 4 in a month!
And it's not nearly as time consuming as I thought it would be. I construct my sandwich right on the scale: Put my pita on the scale, weight it and write it down. Zero the scale with the pita on it, throw in the meat, write it down, zero the scale, add more etc. No need to individually weight everything. Especially handy with things like mayo or cream cheese. Barely takes more time than just making it.

Rep Power: 0 | | | I really liked this video! It's funny because I measure my food and sometimes add a little extra-- like I'm being sneaky. I guess it really does matter. Thank you!

Rep Power: 32708 | | | Once I started weighing most of the things I eat, it was really quite shocking to think back at how much food I was consuming. Weighing really helps you understand proper portion sizes. |

Rep Power: 6299 | | | I loved it. Even though they threw in an apostrophe or two where they didn't belong.
And, of course, along with everyone else I was amazed at the caloric difference and everything, but I also have a question...
Why does it say that about guru's [ACK] wanting you to eat low carb? What does that have to do with anything?

Rep Power: 0 | | | That's very interesting - makes me wonder if the calories per serving listed on food packaging (which is how I've been calculating) is accurate or not!
I watched the "grocery stores want you fat" video by the same poster as well...good points and hilarious to boot!

Rep Power: 0 | | | Excellent tip, never thought about my portion sizes before when I thought I was following, perhaps I was not. Youtube can be quite addictive. I started on that video, then ended up watching ten others, anyways i'm back now. hehe
