Sips Not Gulps
Back in California, again. This concludes my recent busy work travel season. It also means I can start ramping up my training.
This week has been a week of sips, and not gulps, trying to find the time in between work and supporting my wife who underwent foot surgery.
This led to a series of smaller workouts: a spin class, a swim session, a shorter 15 miles bicycle ride, speed walks around the neighborhood. Consistency matters the most, right?
Ai Tracking
In a podcast by Mark Manson, the guy from Not Giving a F*ck, on how he lost 60 pounds, he mentioned how tracking was essential.
Tracking… allows you to spot your own bullshit.
Also pro-cyclist Remco Evenepoel religiously tracks what he consumes all day.
I have found tracking my food intake challenging. Especially, since we cook a lot and the tracking apps don’t know what to do with it, unless I track each ingredient carefully during cooking. I rarely cook for one meal. So that makes it trickier.
Ten years ago, through a free program from my doctor, I would submit pictures to a dietician, who would critique them. It was quite educational.
But there has to be a better way, no? Prior to Ozempic, I’ve long believed that the killer app for the weight loss industry was AI tracking. Snap a picture and the AI will tell you all the calories and components.
I recently started tracking all I eat through, Snapcalorie, such AI tracking app. It has been easy to use and keeps me on my toes for the snack attack.
