Issue on Weight Loss
The truth is that calories can be misleading and by purely focusing on them can hamper your weight
loss goals.
Here’s why:
- Not all calories are created equal! Food is information for the body and each individual food will have a different effect on your metabolism.
- Calorie counting can be inaccurate. Food labels are based on averages and the way your food is prepared and the quality of the ingredients can affect the number of calories it contains.
- Calories do not take into account caloric availability. How your body breaks the food down is not the same as how they measure it in a lab.
Calorie restriction can lead to nutritional deficiencies. By focusing only on restricting calories your diet can miss out on important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and fibre. Cutting fat is the easiest way to reduce calories but can have a massive impact on brain health and hormone production. Effective weight loss needs to take into account sleep, stress, hormonal imbalances and body composition.
