Truth
About Calorie Counting For Weight Loss
Dieting.
The
word alone sends thoughts of disgust and "yuk" racing through people's
minds.
And if you're one of the vast majority who
has attempted it sometime in the past... you know damn well that there
is one
thing, above anything else, that you dread.
One
thing, synonymous with dieting, that would cause you to say "screw
it... I'll just live with all the fat caked to my belly".
The
one thing is calorie counting for weight loss.
Meticulously
reading
each and every food label... examining the calorie content... figuring
out if it fits into your painfully restricted "allowable" daily calorie
intake.
Key
word "restricted".
So here's the question...
Is
it necessary?
Do you really need to focus on calorie
counting for weight loss? Do you really need to
restrict your daily calorie intake or can you lose hoards of weight at
lightning speed
without ever reading another label?
The answer is
guaranteed to slap an ear
to ear grin on your face before another blink of the eye.
Two
letters - NO!
And there is proof.
Consider
the following... if losing weight was a simple matter of consuming a
certain "restricted" number of calories each and every day, then why in
the world are there people who eat very little, yet still are
overweight?
For that matter... why are there so many
people who seem to consume thousands of calories every day, yet have
very thin bodies?
What in the world is going on here?
Many
experts would tell you it's a simple matter of exercise. That
those who remain thin are simply more "active".
It's
true in some cases. But certainly NOT every case.
However,
there
is one thing that I've found. A characteristic that
those who can eat non-stop without getting fat seem to share.
And I've found that it's far more of a "fool proof" path to being thin
than just being more "active".
So what is it?
Quite
simply... CALORIE TYPE.
In other words, although
the amount of calories you consume and how active you are certainly
plays a role in your
weight, the TYPE of calories you consume is far more important.
Type
TRUMPS amount... period.
I've found that the diets
of those who remain thin largely consist of a more optimal TYPE of
calories. In other words, they are NOT the typical empty
calorie foods loaded with additives and preservative.
Examples
of such foods include:
- Fast food
- Soda
-
Most kinds of bread
- Boxed cereals
- Processed meats
And
that's just a very small list.
Basically
any food item that has been heavily processed (which includes most
foods you find at your grocery store) contains refined TYPES of
calories that are completely foreign to your body and are making you
fat.
From the moment food enters your mouth a whole
slew of chemical processes begin to take place.
The
TYPE of food (whether it's heavily refined or 100% natural) will
determine the type of reactions that take place.
Generally
speaking... heavily processed foods loaded with additives and
preservatives create chemical reactions that are poisonous to your
body, mess up the hormonal process in your body, destroy your
metabolism and make you fat.
Foods that are consumed
in their most natural state, tend to create very healthy chemical
reactions in your body... leading to a lean, fit, healthy physique.
The
bottom line here is...
Eating 1500 calories of the
WRONG type of food isn't the same as eating 1500 calories of the RIGHT
type of food!
Consistently eat the wrong calories
and you're probably gonna keep getting fatter... regardless of how
"active" you are.
Consistently eat the right
calories and the rate you lose weight will probably shoot through the
roof.
This is why I recommend to my
clients NOT to focus on calorie counting for weight loss.
Focus on the TYPE of calories they consume.
In
most cases...
the results are exponentially superior!
