Tried Everything But Still Not Losing Weight? Start Here!

Cori Lefkowith, of “Strong At Every Age”, shares her 4-step method:

On the right track

It’s easy to see nutrient tracking as restrictive or obsessive, but that belief usually comes from past negative experiences—using tracking reactively, out of frustration, or as “punishment” after disliking one’s appearance.

Thus, tracking itself isn’t the problem—the mindset and past approach are. The tracker simply shows data; it doesn’t judge, restrict, or command deprivation. It’s not the boss of you.

In contrast: used correctly, it can bring you awareness and control, and thus provides clarity—a factual picture of what and how much you’re eating—so you can make informed, sustainable changes instead of guessing or yo-yo dieting.

So, with that in mind:

1. Track without judgment: log what you eat for a week with zero guilt or changes. It’s not about restriction, but rather about awareness of your current habits and energy intake.
2. Recognize there’s no single “right” way: you can track using an app, photos, a notebook, portion guides, or visual plate methods. The goal is data collection in a form that fits your lifestyle.
3. Focus on addition, not elimination: instead of cutting calories or banning foods, add helpful habits—extra fiber, protein, colorful fruit/veg, etc—to build better nutrition gradually.
4. Make small swaps: after tracking patterns, make small, realistic adjustments. This maintains balance while improving results.
