Counting Calories: Eating Food For Fuel - The Good, The Bad & The Myths About Counting Calories:

by Darrin Wiggins

Are you confused as to why other people experience massive weight loss and you don’t? Have you ever wondered how people with 6 packs got them? Do you think they are just winging it? Their secret is simple. They know exactly what and why they are eating the food that they do. Are you in the habit of counting calories and tracking what you are eating? Why not? People who want to get rich count their money. They know where all their pennies are going and would never consider guessing at how much money they need to achieve their financial goals. If you want to lose weight why wouldn’t you be doing the same thing and counting calories ? You only get out of something what you put into it. The issue is most people have no idea what they are putting into their bodies. People who guess at the number of calories they eat a day typically struggle with their weight loss. When you understand why you are eating what you are eating, weight loss becomes easy, almost automatic. When you are eating food for a specific purpose, you tend to not overindulge or make unhealthy choices. That is the only purpose food is designed for, fuel. To provide us with the calories we need to perform our daily functions. If you take in more calories than you need, you get fat. Weight loss is as basic as that. The magic happens when you understand the type of calories you need and how much of each. You need to focus on the right types of calories because a calorie is not just a calorie. Not when it comes to how your body uses them. 500 calories of a milkshake will have a very different effect on your body, as opposed to 500 calories of chicken, greens and whole grains. The author regularly enjoys food that would be considered BANNED on most diets because he knows exactly how much he can have of it without it negatively impacting his weight. We are living life not trying to die slowly by starving ourselves of the good things in life. You can treat yourself without feeling guilty or gaining weight when you understand how. If you look at most of the diets available today, they are setting you up to fail. They give vague guidelines about what to eat and how to adjust your food intake for continued weight loss. After reading “ Food For Fuel ," you can take any diet and make it work. Want to follow The Paleo Diet, Mediterranean Diet or pretty much any diet ever created and see results? Learn how to count calories. Still not convinced you want to spend the time counting calories in the beginning? Look at losing weight like getting rich again. If you could be a millionaire in five years just by understanding what your pennies are doing for you or you could be a millionaire in twenty years by guessing, which one would you choose? You can lose weight just by guessing at how much you eat based on portion sizes alone but why lose two pounds a month when that could be two pounds or more a week? The great thing is once you understand how to count calories you CAN just use portion sizes to determine how much to eat. Food for fuel contains everything you need to start counting calories today.
