Counting Calories is NOT the Answer

Are you still counting calories? How’s that working?

If it’s working…great!
But what if I told you there’s an easier way??

Imagine what it would be like to eat delicious food until you’re full, and not worry about keeping track of how many calories you’ve just eaten.

Imagine what it would be like to not have to measure your servings so that you’re fitting into your daily calorie allotment.

Imagine not feeling guilty because you’ve eaten more than you’re ‘allowed’…. because you were still hungry after lunch.

Imagine NOT restricting your calories.

When you eat healthy fats and fewer carbohydrates, you will feel satiated and your cravings will disappear. When you pay attention to how you feel, eat when you’re hungry and STOP when you’re full, your appetite will be regulated. If you counted your calories at the same time (not necessary), you would find that many days you’d actually be eating fewer calories that you are ‘allowed’. On some days, you’d be eating more.

But it’s ok. It all balances out. By paying attention to what your body needs instead of just paying attention to calories, you can lose fat without depriving yourself.

Without the annoyance of keeping track of every calorie you eat.

Stop counting calories

The key is eating a high-fat low carb way. You need healthy fats to nourish and to satisfy your appetite, and you need to reduce carbs to balance your blood sugar and get rid of the cravings.

By the way…if you’re simply counting calories and not paying attention to how you’re nourishing your body, you may be losing weight according to the scale but you might not just be losing FAT. You might also be losing muscle. That’s not a good thing. But that’s another story…

Salad versus Doughnut

Calorie counting is not going to help you….take a 200 calorie salad versus a 200 doughnut. Same number of calories but your body will deal with them very differently.
