1. Make Slow Changes
Counting calories is the downfall of many dieters. Dr. Oz's "You on a Diet" encourages slow change. The book recommends that you cut one hundred calories from your diet at a time and learn to live with that. Make a change and keep the habit for 30 days before taking more calories out of your diet. Something as simple as smaller portions may help you count fewer calories. Start small and make steady progress.
2. Count Calories With Technology
Take advantage of technology to help you count your calories. There are many websites available that let you enter the food that you eat and the portion size, and they keep track of the calories you consume. Software is also now available for your computer. Though this may take a minute or two of your time, it is a great way for you to stay organized and stick to your calorie counting and diet plan. If you have a smart phone, there are also programs available to enter the information right on your phone.
3. Sometimes the Old Method is Best
Dieters on Dr. Oz's "You on a Diet" need to keep track of how many calories they consume every day. They also need to keep track of how much daily exercise they get. Some dieters may find it easier to be conscious of what they eat and do by writing down everything in a small notebook. They can look back at a glance and see what they have eaten that day and the calories they have consumed. Some find this simple method rewarding. Dieters purchase a book or look up information on the Internet to find out how many calories a food has, and then write it all down in a notebook. Counting calories this way is a simple method.
