Default Gluttony, Sloth and Not Counting Calories: How to Avoid Common Weight Loss Errors

Well hell, no animal in nature counts at all. What should we make of that.
Should arithmetic be banned in schools?

Seriously, just do a low carbohydrate diet. No animal in nature counts
calories. Eating too many carbs messes with your bodies ability to

regulate
weight for various reasons. As someone who went from 300 lbs to 123, trust
me, it really does work.

Although it's only half the equasion. Emotional eating and a desire to eat
even when full is a problem for some. This must also be addressed with
cognative behavioral therapy, and learning to really listen to your body's
signals. Even if you are one of those who likes to eat everything on your
plate, there are various ways you can get around that. For example, make
sure you never ever take a big plate, and make sure when you start eating
that you do it only when you are are very hungry... this will allow you to
physically "feel" like you ate a lot even finish everything on your plate
but net result is low calories. Personally I think we all have different
innate eating biorythms. Some of us never like to be too hungry or too

full.
Then others of us like to eat only when we are very hungry and stop when

we
are very full, and don't like to leave food behind. Both people can be

thin,
you just have to make sure to alter your behavior so you wind up naturally
not consuming that much food.

Anyway, calorie counting is stupid. It's good for "training wheels" i
suppose, to teach people what a normal serving size is, etc, but having
people control their weights indefinitely via counting calories is just
retarded. I've been maintaining for months and I count nothing. I don't

even
count carbs anymore. I know what I can eat and what I cant, I know my
limits, I naturally eat to my stomach most of the time (and those times

when
I don't - either because I over eat or under eat - I tend to make it up

the
next few days).

I feel bad for fat people who lost their weight doing the high - carb,
low-fat, hampster wheel (treadmill), diet journal route. I'd kill myself

if
I had to do all that **** just to be normal weight. LOL.
