You might be saying that you don’t know how many calories you eat. If this is true, then you are not aware of what you eat and you’re not watching your weight.

The real definition simplified by my own words of diet is, “a prescribed selection of foods.” I believe strongly that this simple definition says everything about what a diet is unlike conventional diets have defined it.
