No. Ditch your diet allows you to plan & eat the foods you enjoy eating. This approach ensures you can sustain your habits as opposed to trying to stick to someone else's prescribed meal plan or blue print.

Trial and error. Start off with a reasonable portion and be consistent with those portions while listening to your body's enough signals. After about 30 days you should have a guage on how much you should be eating according to your data and what the scale is saying.

When you count calories, you depend on apps and calculations to dictate when you should eat and when you should stop. 'Ditch Your Diet' encourages you to listen to your body instead, making decisions based on intuition. It's unrealistic to expect someone to track their calories forever. Learning to eat intuitively is a sustainable skill that you can carry with you for life, especially during times like parties and vacations where counting calories is even harder.

Everyone experiences hunger cues, but often we learn to overlook them. Many of us eat in response to stress or emotions rather than actual hunger. Additionally, we tend to eat quickly and without much thought. To reconnect with your hunger signals, it's crucial to become more aware of your body's signals. Start by noticing when you truly feel hungry - this usually comes from your stomach. Also, when you're eating, take the time to eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to the moment you feel satisfied, not just full.
