Just wanted to add to this thread that after one week of my personal program from Leigh, I can see clearly where all my estimating was leading to eating a lot more than I thought.
Here was my moment. I was packing my lunch and cutting up broccoli. I figured I had about a cup, or 25 cals. I put in on the scale and it was an 82 calorie serving. Now I try to eat 5 servings minimum of fruits and veggies a day, and why not be liberal with them, because they are healthy, right? So 5 x (82 - 25) is an extra 285 cals per day.
Yes, weighing everything is kind of sucking. But, I'm down 4.8 lbs in 6 days. Now is all that fat - certainly not. But my point is, I can see progress and it is worth it!
