In my experience at weight watchers, 99% of people trying to lose weight simply have no idea they’re eating way more calories than they need, and they have absolution idea how insanely calorie sense some things are, like cashews.

For Burt everyone they don’t need to count calories, they just need to knockout a few calorie dense things and the weight comes off.

Agreed. What surprised me is just how small a single serving of peanuts is. 28 grams - 180 calories. Spoiler, that's a lot less than two handfuls and going back for seconds.

Boy do I hear that. I was mostly eating what was very healthy, but I'd throw in an apple here, some crackers there... it adds up so fast and grinds everything to a halt.

Yes, getting abs is 90% of diet, 10% exercise.
