All Calories Are Not Equal – The Controversy Continues

“Many people believe by eating less and exercising more, they’ll be assured of losing body fat. But it doesn’t work that way,” says Tom Nikkola. He explains this very complex system very simply. Tom Nikkola is the Director of Nutrition & Weight Management at LifetimeFitness.
Did this pique your interest? Read more of his blog entitled, “The Futility of Low-Calorie Diets“, and read through my blog from last month:  http://valeriegoldstein.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/60-minutes-confirms-all-calories-are-not-equal/
Better yet, check out Tim Feriss. He is on the bandwagon too, http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/02/25/the-science-of-fat-loss-why-a-calorie-isnt-always-a-calorie/!
One of the biggest hurdles to overcome when engaging in a nutritional approach that will assist you in weight loss is understanding that if you are following a plan and not getting the results that you deserve, you need to make adjustments accordingly. For some, lowering carbs within a 25-50 gram range is all it takes to get the results that are impossible to attain otherwise.
If you are literally killing yourself by restricting calories to an extreme, exercising ’til the cows come home and beating your head against the wall because you feel that you have no other alternative, S-T-O-P. Stop, depriving yourself, stop wasting your time.
Try another option that will work for you. Try using your own fat for energy, use a low carb diet.
If you find that you have more time because you are losing weight and not having to focus all your energy on eating less and exercising more, try reading these mystery books. They will surely help keep your mind off eating because you’ll be so entrenched in these books!
