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? Hazell "NoOneAtAll" wrote in message et... 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. |
