How many times have we all said that THIS IS THE YEAR! 'I can tell, this is it, it's going to be my year!' Only to then do a month's worth of heavy dieting, to then find we are back at square one and feeling deflated.

Don't worry, we've got your back, simply follow what we say below and 2020 really CAN be your year!

Do you find yourself obsessing at EVERY meal?

It's certainly a trend now to use apps such as MyFitnessPal or Fooducate to track your eating habits and to ensure you are eating an exact number of calories with every sitting...

...Here's a question to ask yourself:

Can you see yourself writing down EVERY meal you eat for the rest of your life? If the answer is no, then the diet you're using is not sustainable!

However, we have a FAR EASIER and MORE SUSTAINABLE solution!

Follow the guidelines below and banish calorie counting for good!

-A Palm of protein (2 for men, one for women)


- A Fist of vegetables


- A Thumb of fats


- A Fist of carbs


By following this super simple guide, you won't be needing to count your calories or even really change your eating habits. Instead, by simply looking at what you've got on the plate in front of you, you'll be able to visually see if it's the right amount for you!

Now go out for dinner and don't worry about it!
