How Many Calories Should You Eat to Lose Weight?(counting calories)

counting calories

A lot of people starting out ask the question, How Many Calories Should You Eat To Lose Weight?

While this may be a start in the right direction, perhaps it is the wrong question.

The first question you should be asking yourself is this:

Do I want to become good at counting calories and do this for the rest of my life?

Or:

Do I want to know how to lose weight, look good, and not worry about having to count every damn calorie?

In this article I will show you why you don't have to count calories (yessss!), why people say you should count calories, and why they are not quite as important as some people might have you believe.

If you have been told to count calories to lose weight, well, you should probably be thinking, why are there so many other people who don't count calories yet they are fit and sexy?

There are a lot of people out there who will tell you to count calories, many for different reasons. Some will want you to purchase their calorie counting program, "low-calorie" food, "low calorie" shakes or meal replacements and so on.

Now these goods may not necessarily be straight from Satan, however there are far easier, simpler and more fun ways to lose weight.

Weight loss is difficult enough without having to throw some penny pinching scheme of counting calories in there. You might as well start counting all the leaves that fall on your drive before you pick them up.

I have found that the best way that people lose weight is by listening to their biological-feedback. Bio-feedback is simply listening to what your body is telling you is right. The symptoms of being overweight, tired and grumpy for example, indicate something is wrong with you.

You may be overeating the wrong type of foods, under exercising or you may be one of the extremely rare people who has a disease that makes them over eat.

By listening to your bio-feedback I mean listening to the results that your body gives you. If you get a fitness program and start following the workouts and the nutrition, your weight will naturally come off, without calorie counting.

Calorie counting has its place. If you are in the final stages of cutting your body fat% down for a body building competition then yes, you have to count calories, but not just to start losing weight and look toned, sexy and slim.

Realize this: What you eat is of far more importance than how many calories you eat.

By this I mean that you could eat fatty hamburgers and fries within your calorie range and still get fatter, or you could over eat like crazy of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, lean meats and some dairy and you would probably lose weight.

Knowing this now, you need to take action. Whether you pay a fitness trainer, get a gym membership or start working out from what you know, you will get the same results.

However if you purchase one of the best fitness programs available on the internet, you get results guaranteed, the real truth, heaps of workouts, meal plans, nutrition guides, ab workouts, whole body muscle building workouts and unlimited email support

Most programs come at a fraction of the cost of getting a personal trainer for one session, let alone a year or two!

I have certainly found that my purchase of fitness programs has paid off well (only buy one and start working on it like mad)

Also realize this: He who takes no action or makes no changes... Stays the same.

Who wants to stay the same? Honestly?
