This is exactly how I’ve been teaching myself to approach eating in the past year. I’ve been over the weight I’d like to be for a long time, and had failed repeatedly at improving my weight or my health with lower calorie count, but ultimately nutritionally lacking food.
Amazingly I’ve found that changing my primary goal to getting a certain amount of fiber each day and generally trying to eat nutritionally complete meals, I’ve felt better and even been losing weight more consistently. I say this with the caveat that I am soft-counting calories, but I have not been worrying about keeping track of it too much, nor have I needed to.
It feels obvious but it’s amazing how effective simply targeting healthy foods and activities (rather than focusing on forbidding foods and activities) can work out.
How did the homemade wholegrain tortillas turn out? I’ve struggled to enjoy store-bought ones, was curious if these are worth it. They look great!
