Conventional weight loss advice often revolves around counting calories. However, although caloric intake does have a high correlation with weight gain—or loss—the counting approach hasn’t proven effective for most people.

By understanding common craving triggers and how your brain causes you to feel full, you can painlessly lower your caloric intake.

| 0:48.6 | about calories, macros, and just kind of cutting through the confusion and the BS that you hear online |
