A friend of mine came to me asking for help with her weight loss plan. She had been losing weight, but was now at a standstill.
She said, "Kim, I know I’m eating right, but I don't know what’s going on. Why have I stopped losing weight?"
To help her find out what was happening, I asked her to keep a food journal for a week and then let me review it.
She kept the journal and sent it to me a week later.
I looked at the journal and saw that my friend's eating pattern was healthy
overall. However, one thing did catch my attention. For her snack, she almost always noted eating this: 'Trail Mix: 1 bag'.
I asked her if she had an empty bag of the trail mix that I could see. When we next got together, she showed
me the trail mix bag.
When I saw the label, my mouth dropped open. I said to her: "You’re eating this whole bag?"
She said, "Yes. See, it is only 140 calories."
Can you guess what my friend was doing wrong?
