Hey there!
[Thanks for rolling with the kiddos interrupting my live video!] :-P
Food quality PLUS food quantity is the secret sauce for healthy fat loss.
I'm NOT a believer in counting calories - at least not over the long-term. I believe, in general, we could benefit from less stress surrounding food choices and body image. However, it IS true that if you take in more energy (calories) than your body uses, you will gain weight.
Quality of nutrition is SUPER important! Less chemicals and additives; more real & whole food. That's what truly nourishes our bodies.
So, if you're looking for both HEALTH and FAT LOSS, the key comes from eating high quality foods in appropriate portion sizes for your body / activity level / hormones.
This is one of the topics that is customized specifically for you in my online program - Pioneer Nutrition & Fitness Coaching. It is a 12-month program, with the option of committing to just the first 3 or 6 months if you're a get-my-toes-wet-first type of person.
Instead of trying every single year to lose the fat, this program takes one year and since it's done in a lifestyle-changing & sustainable way, you'll have to find some new thing to obsess over every year for your New Years' resolution. ;-)

In good health,
