The Truth About Food
Portions and Daily Calorie Limits...
Two of the most frequently
asked questions from dieters are:
"How big
should my food portions be?"
"How many
calories should I eat each day in order to lose weight
fast?"
Many fad diets have attempted to set
calorie guidelines which are based on "bodyweight &
height" (and sometimes they factor in "activity level"
also).
Most weight loss counselors operate using
these same types of daily calorie guidelines
too.
In other words, most weight loss counselors
instruct people to follow a specific "daily calorie
limit" which is based on their weight & height (and
sometimes their activity level is factored in
too).
For example, some weight loss
counselors may tell you to eat 2,000 calories per day if
you weigh a certain amount (and if you describe yourself
as "active").
But this is a RIDICULOUS way to try
and lose weight, and we'll explain why below.
The
truth is that it's quite ridiculous to follow a specific
calorie limit each day, since every person has a
different metabolism level.
You
cannot judge your metabolism by your activity level
either, since there are plenty of people with higher
activity levels but who are overweight nonetheless (due
to a slower than normal metabolism).
For example,
if you take 2 people who weigh 165 lbs and who have the
same activity level each day, then there is no guarantee
that their metabolisms will be operating at the same
general level. In fact, it's quite possible that
one person's metabolism will be nearly twice as fast as
the other person's metabolism.
Also, there is
another reason why following a specific "daily caloric
guideline" is a waste of time.
You see, your body
doesn't burn calories on a "per day" basis, your body
burns calories on a "per meal" basis. Your body
doesn't burn calories based on what time the sun rises
and sets, it burns calories throughout the day as you
eat them.
This means that following some
arbitrary "daily caloric guideline" is not going to make
you any thinner, since you must actually learn to spread
out your daily food across more than 3 meals per day in
order to lose weight fast.
To speed up your
metabolism you must eat more often, not less
often. You must eat more than 3 meals per day, and
you must not follow some arbitrary caloric guideline
each day. Also, it's quite easy to figure
out how big your food portions need to be when trying to
lose weight, and it has nothing to do with counting
calories.
In fact, people who count calories
usually fail at weight loss, and that's because counting
calories doesn't work. We have created a way to
choose your food portions at each meal which doesn't
involve counting calories, and you can learn about our
new dieting method below.
In fact, that's why our
new Online Diet Generator creates an 11 Day Menu which
allows you to eat more than 3 meals per day -- and it
also allows you to eat until you feel satisfied (no
specific calorie limits are needed).
...And this
is why our diet is so effective at forcing fast weight
loss for thousands of new dieters each month.
