Introduction
Calorie counting has been the cornerstone of weight loss advice for decades, but does it really work? Spoiler: it doesn’t. Let’s break down why focusing on calories is a flawed approach to health.
Why Calorie Counting is Flawed
- Not All Calories Are Equal: A 100-calorie apple is not the same as a 100-calorie candy bar.
- Ignores Food Quality: Counting calories can lead to choosing processed “low-calorie” foods over nutrient-dense options.
- Unsustainable: Tracking every bite is exhausting and unrealistic for long-term success.
Focus on Quality Over Quantity
- Choose whole, unprocessed foods.
- Prioritise protein, healthy fats, and fibre to stay full longer.
- Avoid insulin spikes by minimising sugar and refined carbs.
Conclusion
Your body isn’t a calculator. It’s time to stop obsessing over numbers and start focusing on nourishing your body.
