Dad-of-four Ethan said his weight loss journey finally clicked into place when he started counting calories and eating nutritious foods. Some of his go-to meals included dark leafy greens, chicken and salmon.
He explained to Men’s Health: “As I became more calorie conscious, I started to binge less and fill up on healthier foods. After a few months of this, calories stopped being calories. They started being food.”
