Calorie counting is held up as the gold standard of nutrition. You can't lose weight without counting calories right? Eh, not really. Calorie counting is a useful tool but I don't recommend it to clients very often. There are many reasons I don't. To start with, for most of human history it wasn't possible. The technique has only been available for about the last 100 years. For many people, it just doesn't fit into their lifestyle at best and at worst can lead to eating disorders and obsessive behavior. If calorie counting is right for you, go for it. But for many, including myself it turns eating into a miserable experience and adds unneeded stress throughout the day. It is possible to fix your diet without calorie counting.

I refer to myself as a lifestyle engineer. Recently I was asked what that was. I offered a short, quick explanation. However, I felt like giving a much more in depth response to what I consider a lifestyle engineer to be! In a nut shell, a lifestyle engineer is someone who lives consciously. They challenge the conditioning we all receive growing up and decide what is best for themselves rather than just defer to the predetermined path. To live consciously is to actively design the lifestyle you want. You examine what it is you want and why you want it. You discard the things that don’t serve your design and acquire the things that do. It requires a lot of self-examination. It often requires doing things most people aren’t doing. You have to examine your life regularly and leave things that aren’t working. The payoff for being a lifestyle engineer is a life that you designed.
