A: Here are some tips to keep in mind when monitoring your weight:
Get a calorie counting app like MyFitnessPal on your phone, to help you keep track of your daily calorie intake. Eating real food can be more filling than eating simple carbohydrates, and you may not be getting enough calories in. Use the app to figure out your target weight, and the number of calories per day that you’ll need to get there.
Add coconut oil to your beverages - this can add extra calories to your day.
Avoid caffeine if you are still weaning off caffeine, as caffeine can make you less hungry.
You may want to consider swapping your daily smoothie with the Root Cause Building Smoothie: 1 avocado (300 calories), 1 cup coconut milk (150 calories), 1 banana (100 calories), 2 egg yolks (100 calories, if tolerated), 1 scoop of beef/pea protein (60 calories).
