Counting Calories
Add to favorites
We were all taught the same thing. Calories in. Calories out. It’s all about the calories.
When I was a young teenager, I bought one of those pocket-sized calorie counting books they sold at the grocery store. They were prominently displayed by the check-out. I took it home and it didn’t take me long to memorize it. I was obsessed with wanting to lose weight and look like a waif. Twiggy was the “model of the moment” in those days. She was the most famous waif on the planet. I wasn’t really fat. I just thought I was. And the way to lose weight was to cut back on calories consumed. Everyone knew that.
Well, what everyone knew to be true was wrong.
You will be shocked at how flawed counting calories really is when you watch this video clip put out by Adam Ruins Everything. Absorb this and your whole view of calorie counting will change.
So there you have it.
Counting calories is a useless exercise.
