Paulette, I follow Atkins and do not follow macros. Just 20g of carbs. I’m losing just fine without all the figuring and like you said math and stress. I eat natural, no fake foods. I’m losing slowly but I think that is better. Atkins works for me. Safe travels and hope the storm brewing isn’t too bad. Idaho is having a mild winter. 24 here but beautiful blue sky and snow on the mountains.
