An alternative (& better?) dieting method for long term weight loss.

I think the issue with this thought process is that you assume the general population has the same nutritional knowledge as those of us who have been living this way for a long time. The average person doesn’t know how many servings of protein they have because they don’t know how many grams of protein are in each protein source, for example the fat to protein ratio in 80/20 ground beef is different than 94/6. This would work for someone working with a coach or trainer to then look back on these photos and give feed back but for beginners that food diary will mean nothing to them. Most people don’t have an idea of how much an ounce is or even simply a cup, and unfortunately a lot of people also under estimate their intake because they are in denial about how much they’re actually taking in.

Not assuming that everyone has the same nutritional knowledge, it’s just hard to provide a full process to managing your diet in a 10 minute video 🤣. I think even without a coach, or experience, or qualifications, someone can take a honest food journal for a couple of weeks and see some obvious things that they can change easily that will have a positive impact. If people struggle to be honest with themselves, like you say, and underestimate what they eat, then I would say that a food channel is potentially really really helpful because as long as they just take the photos there is no hiding from the reality. Yes, specifics like fat to protein ratio in different beef isn’t going to be obvious to some, but I don’t think that’s where people are making mistakes. This video, does not provide a solution by itself, I completely agree with you on that. But that’s not really the intent with a 10 minute video. It’s just to get people to consider other options, and to potentially give them a try. That being said, no single method is perfect for everyone, it might experience however this is a really good place to start. Is that fair?
