Dangerous Health Myth
"Calories Don't Count, but Food Does"
The Problem At Large
Can you guess how many calories are in this "healthy" picture?
330- Nuts
227- Beans
700- Fruits& Vegetables
160- Chocolate
Eating everything in this picture, even though it's all healthy and natural , would result in eating almost 1500 calories! That's enough to last an average sized woman who doesn't excercise one whole day.
Importance of Excercise
Excercise proves very useful in a weight loss journey. After you've shed all the pounds, excercising regularly can help ensure that those pounds will stay off. Incorporating it into your lifestyle will help bring you faster, more effective results.
Portion Control is Key
If you have the desire to eat fatty foods, make sure you portion it out! Portion control measures out how much of everything you're supposed to eat and can keep you within your caloric boundaries. Remember, it's not too strict, you can even work some snacks in there.
Lifestyle Change
Before you go changing everything you do, it's best to first consult a physician about what is a healthy weight and set goals for yourself. Eating plans shouldn't be to strict and it's best if they contain a little wiggle room to snack when needed. Make sure you get all you nutrients and aren't overeating on something. If so, it's best to quit cold turkey.
