Do you count your calorie intake? Well, there is actually no need to worry about counting calories. If you eat nutrient-dense foods, you can eat as much as you want, even as often as you want. (Did you know bacon is a nutrient-dense food? Well that’s good news, isn’t it?)
On the other hand, eating nutrient-poor foods leads to hunger withdrawals. Sometimes even withdrawal symptoms when you diet. It is a condition where the body tells lies to the brain and prompts the body that it’s time to eat when it actually isn’t.
Counting Calories, 1,2, 3!
Did you actually lose weight when you counted your calorie intake? Some of you might be successful at it but I believe most are not. It is really physically and psychologically hard to lose weight when you are too conscious about counting your calories. Some experts even say it is worthless to count your calorie intake since because you have to weigh it with different factors like age, activity level, weight, and muscle mass. Wow! That’s a lot of work.
But wait, there’s more! You have to figure out a way to assess how much brown fat you had and whether the communities of mitochondria in it and your muscles were youthful or old.
If you want to lose fat, eat as much as you want, whenever you want, as long as your diet is based on a balanced selection of specific foods. If your diet were based on eating what you need instead of eating what you want, you wouldn’t be hungry, you’d lose body fat and get healthy.
So. if you want to lose weight and stay healthy at the same time, it is not about counting calories, it is about choosing nutrient-dense foods that are best for your body.
