I think you need to edit the choices . <| sep |> Hier werd de vrede getekend in 1945 . <| sep |> Well , political philosophies often branch off . It ' s not uncommon . <| sep |> Great deal which will push me up to vip 7 . Hello Guks ! D <| sep |> Practice makes perfect . I also tried to calorie count and use My Fitness Pal multiple times before being able to turn it into a habit . I think people here are trying to point out that you ' re willing to make this weird , restrictive way of eating into a habit rather than just taking the time to figure out what your mental block is with counting and power through . I ' ve tried literally dozens of diets , and what I ' ve found is that even the most sustainable diet feels less and less so over a long period of time . What doesn ' t change is that knowing portion sizes and calories means that any diet will work because I fully understand the mechanism of how it works . During maintenance , I ' ve switched my diet up multiple times because of stressors or other changes . However , the knowledge I ' ve attained about calories and portions means that I can eat any way I please as long as I hold myself accountable . Not only that , but calorie counting isn ' t something you have to do forever . Many maintainers stop after a certain period , only spot checking once weekly or monthly or only logging if the scale starts to slide . Let me give you my best analogy for what you ' re doing here a student is having trouble with his math score . Rather than pulling out the math book and practicing problems that he has issues with more often adding more practice , he starts rearranging the study habits he already has because he earned a higher test score this one time when he studied in the morning instead of in the evening . Why not do your IF diet AND practice logging ? Just put no pressure on yourself and do it as often as you can . If you stop for a week , fine , get back to it when you can and keep practicing ! Why ? Because knowing portion sizes and calories is the most farreaching and effective way to maintain . Practicing that will be helpful no matter what diet you create for yourself .
