You need to have a baseline to compare yourself to in order to understand really where you are at and what it might take to get you to where you want to be.
With weight loss, many people start ‘eating healthy’ and start an exercise plan and wonder why they are not making progress faster. What is eating healthy without the number? Even knowing the servings of vegetables you eat is helpful information.
It helps to have un understanding of your baseline. If you are maintaining, what are your levels at that? Eating healthy can mean a lot of things. Counting calories tells more. Counting fiber and macros tells even more. Having all those numbers to compare to your exercise and weight progress, gives you more information you need to succeed.
Taking all that information over a long enough period of time to understand yourself and combining it with sleep data, rest and stress gives you a 3D picture to build a plan.
When you have an understanding of just how powerful nutrition is and also how many health conditions poor eating contributes to, this will only add to your motivational picture. Combining nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress sounds simple but learning how the body reacts to all of these things really gives a clear understanding.
