Not that. I lost a bunch of weight (50+ lbs) by eating the same meals over and over and over and over again. If I had to text 1cup this, 3oz that, 1/2 cup flour, blah, blah every time I ate, I'd go buy a large pizza from a chain store and get the calorie count that way. It'd be a lot easier. Your sms system is an incentive to eat processed foods. I'd look at the psychology of weight loss and also read about personal finance too. You're probably not the person to build this unless you've tried to loose weight. All the advice is worthless unless you can build a new lifestyle. In order to do that you need to introduce barriers to food consumption.
