#73 The Missing Link - How To Unlock HUGE Results

Ever feel like you’re “doing everything right” yet the scale won’t budge? Larry and Daniel pull apart the quiet habits that erase progress—patchy tracking, shaky measurements, and blind trust in barcode scans—and show how small leaks become big plateaus. We share real client stories, like the tea drinker unknowingly sipping hundreds of calories in milk and the “protein-packed” lasagna inflated by a bogus database entry. The lesson is simple and powerful: awareness before willpower.

Across the conversation, we map out a practical path to accuracy without obsession. Start with seven honest days, including weekends, and log the food you actually eat. Swap cups and tablespoons for grams to get a true read on energy-dense foods. Sanity-check your app entries; if a chicken breast shows carbs, it’s wrong. Build estimation skills by covering the scale and guessing portions before verifying—this trains your eye for eating out and busy days. We talk through how a short, intense month of precise tracking delivers years of food freedom because most meals repeat and accuracy becomes automatic.

You’ll learn how to spot stealth calories—bites from a partner’s plate, spoon “tastings,” oils and dressings, and unlabeled sips—and how to fix weekend drift without blowing up your social life. We keep the focus on big levers that drive fat loss: consistent energy balance, clear measurement, and simple habits you can repeat. No magic, no fear—just skill. Hit play to plug the leaks, reclaim control, and finally see the results your effort deserves.

Welcome And The Big Reveal

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hey guys, you're listening to the Gen Pop Podcast with me, your host, Larry Doyle. Each week, I'm gonna bring in friends, guests, and experts to help enhance your health, fitness, and wellness journeys. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the conversations.

Why Inconsistent Tracking Derails Results

SPEAKER_01 0:20

You are welcome back to another episode of the Gempup Podcast, where this week, co-host Daniel and I, we are going to discuss the missing link, the thing that is holding you back from all the results you've ever wanted. It's probably not what you think it is. Daniel, what is it? Inconsistent tracking.

SPEAKER_03 0:38

I think inconsistency all across the board, but I definitely think inconsistent tracking probably is the most impactful or least impactful, or if we want to look at it, uh, thing you can be doing because it's the same as your finances or anything else. That if you're not being consistent with your spending, then how do you expect to know what's going to be in your bank account? Now, like as I always say to clients, it's like it's exact same as your finances. You don't need to be looking at your bank account to know like how much you can spend or whatever, you just need to have a rough idea. But like if you're being inconsistent to what your output is, you're not really going to have like consistent results. So there's a couple of different ways we can kind of look at inconsistent tracking. Like we can look at people tracking just Monday to Friday and then not tracking at the weekend, or we can even have a look at they're just estimating what they're having during the week, or they're using different types of measurements, or they might say instead of tracking the separate ingredients, they might just say, Yeah, it was just a lasagna. I had ridiculous, I had like half a cup of lasagna, whatever the fuck that means. But you will see that in people's trackers as well, that it's just an inconsistency with the units of measurement, with how they're tracking it, and then how frequent they are tracking as well.

Detective Work: Finding Calorie Gaps

Weekends And The Consistency Gap

First Steps: Track Every Day

SPEAKER_01 1:49

Yeah. And it that's it there's two different types, I guess. It's intentional uh unmistracking or unintentional uh tracking inconsistency as well, too, because uh it's creating an awareness. You know, I had this recently with a client and it was her best intentions that she had she'd consumed a meal, it was actually I think it was lasagna, and there was 92 grams of protein had been tracked in the lasagna. And I was like, that's going to be the biggest fucking lasagna in the world. It's a Garfield-sized lasagna, because like to get 92 grams of protein, and it was just mistracked, it was a on a normal plate size. This was from uh barcode that she has scanned or mis-entered. So again, this was now putting her protein way higher than she actually assumed, and like while 40 grams of protein or 50 grams of protein additional, is it the end of the world if it's in or out of your intake? No, but if your intake is now off by 200%, that's a problem. Because now, if it's off in that one meal, chances are you're not aware that it's off in the other meals, and okay, that's not maybe your problem or your lack of awareness right now, or your uh lack of education around it, or understanding, and that's fair. But this is where we're going to bring some attention to that, where some of the gaps might be, because it is to the best of your understanding right now of what you're doing, but that is still a missing link because ultimately the bottom line matters, you're either in a deficit or not, you're either in a surplus or not, or you're either at maintenance or not, and that's gonna be the three things that you're gonna have. Um, so that's what we got to look at. Because again, there can be a lot of things. I've had this with clients where we find tooth comb their food diary, and we've really got into it in the nitty-gritty. And, you know, sometimes I won't have to, I'm not accusing the client of over eating, but I'm just saying, let's find tooth comb it and say, where are the gaps here? Because there is a gap clearly, because what we're doing and what's happening as an outcome from it are very misaligned. We went through this guy's food diary, he's very compliant, he's very adherent, he's very honest as well, too, which that was up to my understanding on uh the rapport we had built and the relationship that we had got. So he got his wife to start overlooking and just have a second set, a third set of eyes on the food. Because I can only see so much in terms of what the entries are. He was having what were basically classified as servings, 14 servings of extra milk a day in his tea that he was having that was going on tracked, which a couple of drops here and there, let's not get too carried away, it's not going to put you out of a deficit. But he was having multiple hundreds of calories of milk per day that he was completely unaware about, and he was oblivious to with liquid calories, just consuming it back, super easy. There was nothing extra in terms of volume added to his whole day, very easy to consume that. That was keeping him out of a deficit. We sorted it out, next thing all of a sudden he's down two kilos the following week. And again, very easy things that can be happening, and they can be garned out incredibly easy, but it's like spotting the gap. That's our job. We're basically detectives uh from calorie investigators, if you want to call us that at times, where we have to dig in and troll. But once we uncover it, now all of a sudden it's magic. But then there's the other side of it where okay, we were a little bit unaware of what was coming in, but then there's the other side where people are just well, fuck it, that's the weekend. I'm not gonna be arsed about tracking. I've worked hard all week, so I'm gonna reward myself. So then the inconsistency comes that like Saturday, Sunday, 28% of the week, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 42% of the week. Is the other 58% of the week, Monday to Thursday, super tight? Is it really consistent? Is it spot on? Maybe not. If that's operating at 80%, and now the weekend is operating at 20%, 40%, there's a huge misalignment in terms of the outcome that we're looking for as well. And that's where just that general inconsistency comes into it. Because again, we don't know our bottom line in terms of uh energy expenditure, we might know that. But the incoming calories, which is going to be very easy to overconsume calories, that's gonna be way out of line. So, what's our first protocol to go to, Danny, for someone that might be struggling this with this? How do we fix things up?

Short-Term Intensity For Long-Term Freedom

SPEAKER_03 5:51

Well, I always kind of say, and like it's it's that whole saying of like imperfect consistency is gonna be perfect inconsistency because there are certain times where I will let a client know that, like, just to be aware of what they're doing, but to also just not change it. Because an example would be if somebody goes to the same, let's say, place for lunch every single day, and I see that they're tracking chicken sandwich, and that's what they're tracking. I'm like, right, but if they're always ordering that, irregardless of if it's off by 200 calories, it's still always going to be off by 200 calories because they're probably going to use similar amounts of the things all the time. But as long as they're aware of that, I'm like, right, just be aware that that might not be accurate, but it's always going to be roughly on the same calories. So even if you haven't it tracked exactly as what it is, we still know that we need to have like a 200 calorie or so discrepancy there. But I think the first step is to just track every single day, regardless of like if it's going to be accurate or not, at least it's a starting point where you have that habit of built-up of tracking Monday all the way through Sunday, because again, you could be perfect with your tracking Monday to Friday, weighing out everything. But then if across the weekend you're missing out on two days worth of data, as you said, that's 28% of your week. So like if you were to take 28, we'll just say 30% of your year or whatever, you're talking about taking three months out of your year or whatever, like you wouldn't do that realistically. So if you want to get good results, you're gonna have to like bring these down. And like if you were to go from not tracking over the weekend to then, okay, I'm gonna have one meal over the weekend where I'm just a bit more flexible with it, that's a huge improvement. So you've gone from, you know, six to eight meals over the weekend that you don't track to one that you're a bit more flexible with, and that might be enough for you to get really good results. So it's not that you have to be very anal about your approach, it just means you just need to have a bit more consistency with your approach.

Question The Database, Not Just Yourself

Build Estimation Skills Through Reps

Units, Utensils, And Portion Drift

SPEAKER_01 7:43

And I think that short-term being anal is very worthwhile. Like we'll get this all the time. It's like, oh, I want to lose fat, but I don't want to get too obsessed with tracking calories. It's like the calories are the thing that we need to look at. So that's the reality of it. And whether that's people don't want to face the truth that they are overeating and they want to maybe blame it on their hormones or blame it on the environment or blame it on whatever, it's like we got to get to grips with this. And I'll say this to people, it's like tracking calories shouldn't be a thing that's a long-term relationship that you're looking to get into. This is a this is a one-night stand, in and done, out and finish kind of job. It's like get used to it very quickly. You'll see that there's a lot of repetition with the shit that you eat on a day-to-day basis, on a week-to-week basis, month to month. So a month of intensive tracking will save you years of frustration. And it's like it'll create an awful lot of awareness because 90 to 95% of your food is going to repeat within that month. And now all of a sudden you've got way more control, way more understanding, and way less frustration because you will be aware that there is additional calories coming in. You will be aware of just how much calories are actually in some foods you consume. Now, the other side of this, where we look at the tracking, there can be data entry inconsistencies. So, again, another example. A client of mine sent me across a screenshot of the food that they tracked in before. Said, Larry, I'm not so sure about this. Can you have a look over it for me? It was a chicken fillet pasta kind of meal. Don't know what it was fully, but we had looked at the entries for the total calories and macros for the meal. I was like, that's not too far off. It seems okay, but let's look at the macros now, let's look at it in finer detail. The chicken that she had entered was a chicken fillet, but my fitness panel, all those other trackers, they're a bit mental at times because it's like Wikipedia. You can put in your own versions of those foods and create them. The chicken fillet that she had picked, because she didn't really look at it, didn't pay too much attention, just seen chicken fillet, clicked it. It had 35 grams of carbohydrates in that chicken fillet. This was a chicken fillet raw, skinless, which is just meat, just muscle, just pure protein. Where the fuck were the 35 grams of carbohydrates? So some lunatic in their infinite wisdom made this up, put it into my fitness panel, maybe as a spoof, maybe as been a bit of a plonker, whatever it might be, but my client had misused it. And that was again putting us out by a couple of hundred calories on that meal alone, that were to her best understanding, just from quick entries, kind of didn't really look at it. So it's worthwhile to question my fitness panel, to question the data that you're entering and actually overview it and say, Is this representative of what is actually supposed to be in that meal? Because again, based off nutritional labels, there can be up to a 20-25% discrepancy of what's actually on the label versus what's in the food. So again, been aware of that. If you've got 25% more fats in a meal, that's gonna dramatically draw your calories up, plus or minus as well, too, right? So again, you might be doing the best intention and tracking the food just scanning your barcodes blindly. But if you're not paying attention to the finer details at times in that intensive couple of weeks, let's call it, where you're going to just fine-tooth comb your nutrition. And they don't need to be perfectly clear weeks where nothing is on. You're better off to have some stuff on because you get more awareness of the real world and what your actual foods are. And be skeptical and actually question everything a little bit more. And if you don't know the full truth, if you're not fully aware, that's where some coaching comes in, or asking a question, or dropping one of us a DM. Larry, at this meal the other day, this is what the barcode was saying. This is an actual picture of the meal. What do you reckon? Because both my myself and Daniel, we kind of live in a matrix where we look at a plate of food and we've like boom, 758 calories. We just know because we're after looking at it for years. Daniel's been tracking like hyper intensive for years, not so much now, but again, it gets very good awareness. I've been tracking food since before my fitness panels are goddamn thing, just shows my age. But I'm very good and I have great awareness and also kind of a lack of emotional response to some plates of food at times. You can just tell what's in a plate of food very easily and very accurately, just through exposure. And that's how I'm not obsessed, but I can just tell. But that's true, repetition and exposure of questioning what are in certain foods, certain meals, certain types, certain brands, whatever it might be, and getting a very good input. But still, it's only like 30 to 40 actual foods that I'll consume over that expanse of time and understand what the calories are in it. Now all of a sudden I've got great food freedom. I don't need to track as intently anymore because I can see what's in front of me. So that is something I think I would urge people who maybe are struggling with a little bit of consistency is to be skeptical, be curious, be interested in what's actually going on, and track with more intent in terms of what you're actually consuming. Because now you can genuinely save yourself hundreds of calories and weeks and months of frustration and get the goddamn results you're looking for. It's a win-win. It might be a little bit more time, it might be a little bit effort in the short term to do that in terms of like intently tracking and putting some focus into it, but it frees up so much more time and headspace down the line. Would you agree?

SPEAKER_03 12:54

100%. And like I used to be very, very, very anal about like tracking years ago when I discovered tracking was even a thing, like to the point where uh I would go on to it. But this is something I actually recommend, not to this extent, but it's something I do recommend to clients, is to go on to like say different supermarkets websites, test codes or super value are probably the most two most popular ones.

SPEAKER_01 13:16

They have all the macronutrients on it, yeah.

Bites, Licks, And Sips Add Up

SPEAKER_03 13:18

Yeah, it's like when you're making out a shopping list and stuff, just go onto it and just like have a look to you know what's the nutrition content of these things. And you can even like pre like pre-track them into your MyFitnessPal so that they're already saved there, and you only have to do that once. You don't have to do it every single time, but you know that right, this is accurate because this is actually what's going to be on the label. But I used to do this to the point where like I would uh say want to get bagels, for example. I would open up every single bagel and see like what is in them, what's the difference in them, and then look for the ones that like will fit into my calories. But that was ridiculous. Don't do that kind of shit. But it did, it did give me enough awareness of like what is in a bagel to the point where like I know what's roughly in a bagel, and like I think when you kind of do it over a certain length of time, you just as you said, we can do it now without having to track. Like, obviously, we can still come across if someone put an alligator in front of you and said, How many calories in that? Like, I don't know, but I can give you a rough estimate for doing the alligator.

SPEAKER_01 14:13

But you'll have something similar, you'll know something similar that you might have consumed previously. It's like, well, it's supposed to taste like chicken, so we'll track it like chicken, grant.

Awareness First, Changes Follow

SPEAKER_03 14:21

Exactly. And I think like you will kind of pick up on certain things as well. Like you might eat a meal and it could be like, say, lasagna, and you'll be like, right, this kind of tastes a lot nicer than what I'm used to. So there's probably like a lot, it's not as lean meat. They're probably using maybe 15% beef mints as opposed to the 5% that I might use. Like you will pick up little things, like even when you look at a steak, you can look at like, right, there's a lot more white in that one that's gonna be a lot fattier compared to like another one that looks leaner, like a fillet or whatever. So if you just do these things in the short term just to build up your awareness, it's gonna save you so much time down the line, it's gonna save you so much headaches because you're gonna have a lot more awareness over the content that's in food. So I don't think again, it's it can be a tricky subject to talk about sometimes, but like a lot of people will look at tracking as real negative that it's gonna cause like disordered eating patterns or eating disorders. Maybe it does in certain people, but it's like you always use that example that like check your bank account, doesn't all of a sudden turn you into like a finance consultant. Like, that's not one of the requirements on the job description of like you need to track your finances for a couple of years, and then you're so uh knowledgeable about the area that you get the job, it just makes you more aware of what you're spending and what you're actually spending all your money on. So you don't need to do it every single day or every single week, but you might just touch on it every now and then. And it's the same as if you're planning on going for holidays, for example, you might start to track it a bit more closer the closer you get to holidays to make sure you're not wasting any money because you're looking to save for your holidays. So there might be periods of time where you track a bit closer, or other times where you don't need to track as much with your calories as well, but you still need to have that awareness and the ability built up over a certain length of time before you can actually have that flexibility in place.

Stop Majoring In The Minors

Practical Swaps And Closing Notes

SPEAKER_01 16:07

I started using the analogy or kind of like posing the question to people is like, okay, I want to get my teeth whiter. What do I need to do to get my teeth whiter? Well, so you're gonna need to fucking brush your teeth. I say, okay, I only want to brush my teeth three days a week. It's like, well, then you're not gonna get white teeth. It's like, grant, it's like that doesn't ruin my relationship with my teeth. It's like that's the reality. You need to be told a little bit more blunt about it. But it's like it's going to improve the situation if that's your goal, and it genuinely is, and you want to accomplish that goal, do the thing you need to do to accomplish that goal. Um, so again, it's been aware of that. Um yes, there can be inaccuracies, but think of it like going to the gym, your very first time ever going to the gym. I used to use this analogy, like it's your very first time having sex, you have a fucking clue what you're doing, and it only gets better from there out, but sometimes it doesn't. But anyway, um, it's like going to the gym. When you start off in the gym, you haven't a clue what you're doing. When you go the second time, you have a little bit less of a clue what you're doing. A little bit more of a clue of what you're doing, I should say. Then thereafter, you build up reps, you build up exposure, you build up knowledge, you build up competency, you build up uh so much time under the bar that now it's just second nature. You walk in, you pick up the bar, you know exactly how it's supposed to load, you know how it feels, you know what's going on to set next, you know how to adjust the load, you know how to adjust your recovery, blah, blah, blah. That's from exposure. If you start tracking and you freak out because you haven't got it right within the first week, you're on a shitty path and nothing's going to happen. You're not going to improve it because it needs time, it needs exposure. The more you do it, the more you put yourself in there with it and exposure to it, the better you're going to get, the less you need to think about it, the more automatic it is. And now all of a sudden, again, you it increases that freedom around it, that you're not completely obsessed. Because again, those who are like obsessed around it, if you're to ask them like more detailed questions, they don't really understand what they're doing. They're just like enter numbers for the sake of entering numbers and trying to do whatever with it, they don't really understand the whole process with it. So, again, it's like it's looking at that with an objective view to say I need to put in a little bit of time, put in some repetitions, a little bit of exposure, I'll get better gradually, and it'll be less dependency there the whole time when I get uh more frequency with exposure to that too. Um, what other things then are we looking at that are going to cause inaccuracies when it comes to tracking?

SPEAKER_03 18:30

I think is the like apart from like estimating or kind of guessing what there is in like the food content, I think it is the unit of measurement that they're using as well. Because, like, as I said earlier, like I know it's a ridiculous example, but like a couple of lasagna, but like cups drive me mental, and tablespoons and stuff drive me mental because I know the type of person I was previously. If I was given a meal plan, for example, and said a tablespoon of peanut butter, that tablespoon is going to be the height of the Empire State Building because you never told me it had to be a level teaspoon. It's like as long as it's on the spoon, that counts. So again, there could be a lot of inaccuracies. So, like, there can be a lot of inaccuracies that way, because people will take the piss with these things because they'll look for any sort of an easy way out to say that like, well, he didn't really specify like is it a level tablespoon? Is it like like what is a tablespoon like? Because I have this fucking spoon that's a salad spoon, that that's my that's what I consider a tablespoon, so I'm just gonna load that up. So, again, what you can do is simply just fucking track what's on the spoon, and then you don't have to put it on the winning skills anymore because you roughly know that's what it looks like on a spoon, and that's it. Again, that's what we're saying that like you just have to do a lot of these things once you do all the hard work at the start, and then you don't need to do it anymore. So I think the units of measurement and how you're measuring them, I think, are um of utmost importance as well.

SPEAKER_01 19:53

I used to play a little bit of game when I was competing in bodybuilding, it was an absolute necessity for me to make sure that everything was actually ticked, that it was 200 grams, it was 200 grams, if it was 199 or 201, that's not it, it has to be 200 grams. That's the levels you gotta go to when you're putting your body through the extremes rigors like that, right? But a game I would play with myself to do that would be I would cover over the scales and I would weigh out the food to what I thought was 200 grams. And this is a really good way of calibrating your eyeballs as opposed to just reading it off the scales and just ripping a bit off and not being aware of it. But when you can calibrate your own visual perception of what that is in terms of size, this is again why I'm so good now, because doing that a lot of times throughout that preparation, I knew that X amount of spoons would be exactly that, and I would be within like three to four grams of multiple hundred gram meals, which is incredibly accurate, but purely just based off a little bit of exposure of that's gonna be 100 grams as opposed. And then people kind of get when they're not as familiar with that or not as uh accustomed to doing it, they'll be in two camps, they'll either way underestimate it or way overestimate it. They're very rarely in the middle, they're like two polar ends of the opposites with that. So to get more exposure to that and to understand sizing, because you're not gonna have away in scales with you all the time. So this is really useful for those who are maybe a little bit more inaccurate when they're eating out to get used to portion sizes and what might be on your plate. If you have control, again, it's not obsessive, it's just creating an understanding about your knowledge with it or increasing your skill set with it. A couple over scales, put on what you think is X amount of grams with that meal that you're looking for. Look back at it, okay, I'm 10% off and 10 grams off, 20 grams off, peel a bit off, that's what 10 grams looks like. Now you'll know better. I'm not saying that you need to have it that accurate, but it allows you to just get a better visual uh comprehension of what is actually there in front of you. And I think that can be one of those people actually quite like it when they're gamifying it, playing with it that if you have the time to do it, do it. But again, it just gives you a skill set that you don't need to continually doing it again, all the time. So again, more exposure, more exposure, more exposure. Um, something else. You mentioned about when you're looking at the spoons and the cups and the weighing out stuff and that as well. What you will have is like, okay, I want to have a spoonful of peanut butter, and you'll put the spoonfully in and you'll tip that off. Next thing you're like, after weighing that out, but now you like lick the spoon and you're taking like another 150 calories worth with you, or that you'll have an extra dash and a finger sweep of it. Now all this thing kind of adds up. These can easily add up, and then you put in a couple of bites of the kids' food, then you start putting in a few nibbles, and there's the little lint door balls that are on the table in the office and whatever as well too. Now all of a sudden, without realizing it, you're up an extra four to five hundred calories. And if you are in a moderate deficit, that's gonna put you out of your deficit, even though you're oblivious to the fact that you've done it. It's a good practice just to catch yourself if you're gonna do that, just to be aware of it, that you can easily start to consume a lot of calories as well too. Because chances are you're not gonna do that little finger sweep and lick or lick the spoon with something that's not all that tasty. And we know something that's not all that tasty is gonna be lowering calories, and the tasty stuff is higher in calories, therefore it's very easy to over-consume that as well, right? So, again, it's just be mindful of that, that that can really add up, and that literally might be the thing that's actually holding you back. It's the extra little handful, it's the extra little bite, it's the extra little edge. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have it, I'm not saying you should refrain from it all the time, but it's good practice just to be mindful of actually how much you're actually consuming as well. Um, and this is where I'll get people to track their food, and I'm saying, I don't want you to change a thing that you're doing this week, but I just want you to track your food. When they start to track their food, they get really mindful of everything they do. And now all of a sudden they'll check in the next week and be like, Larry, I tracked everything, I didn't change a thing. I'm down a kilo and a half. I was like, Well, how do you reckon we lost that kilo and a half? I was like, Well, I didn't change any food, so something must have happened. The reality of it was they lost fat because they consumed less calories because they were really mindful and fully accountable for the seven days that they tracked their food. And that's like a huge pump to Jesus moment that people have when they kind of realize that all of a sudden that maybe I was actually consuming way more food. So again, like there's several things you can look at. You've got to figure out which one is yours. Is it the inaccuracy of the data? And we all want to blame something else. More than likely, it's your own inaccuracies with it in terms of either entering or the honesty of what's been tracked. I'm not saying you've been dishonest with it, you just might be unaware. So again, when we start to create more awareness, well, now we create more of an understanding of what our actual baseline numbers are. Now all of a sudden we can actually start getting some tangible results. Um, Daniel, I think there's loads in this, and hopefully it's after hitting home with a lot of people as to what's actually holding them back. We didn't mention anything about hormones, we didn't mention anything about insulin, we didn't mention anything about cortisol, we didn't mention anything that will be mentioned on diary of a CEO. It's relatively straightforward for the most part with the majority of people. I'm not saying other issues and conditions and concerns don't exist. They do, but for the minority of the people, we're talking to the majority here. Uh Daniel, anything you want to wrap up with?

SPEAKER_03 24:59

I think that probably wraps everything up quite nicely because I think like a lot of people I think a lot of people will just like start majoring in the minors, they'll start focusing on like the shit that doesn't necessarily matter, like as you said, like the hormones and uh everything like that. But as you said, like it that is applicable to a minority of people, but for the vast majority of you, it's just because you're not doing something consistently and you're not doing it for a long period of time, or you're not doing it accurately. And as you said, it might be completely not your fault, like you just might be unaware. Like again, you might be, you know, putting milk into your coffee and thinking like that's not really something I need to track, but like that's one of the most common things we see is people put milk in their coffee or sugar in their coffee, maybe putting like oil into their salads or whatnot. So once you start tracking, you build up a bit more of awareness of like, holy shit, I'm maybe a couple of hundred calories just for milk. That's when you actually can start making changes and say, okay, maybe I'm just gonna have you know half the amount of milk I'm having, or maybe I'm gonna swap up my milk for almond milk or whatever. I wouldn't recommend that. But um either with RFK. Yeah. So once you have that awareness there, once you have that awareness there, you have the control then to make the changes that are necessary. But without having that awareness, you can't really make any changes.

SPEAKER_01 26:18

Yeah, that again, it's just creating awareness. But like again, we're talking about the cup of tea. What comes with a cup of tea? A couple of bickies, and then the next thing all of a sudden we're unaware about everything, and next thing there's just hundreds of extra calories coming in. But hopefully, this has created some awareness about your lack of awareness and that you've got some value from it. If you've got questions, if you've got feedback, drop us a DM.
