You Have To Count Calories To Lose Weight = False & 3 Reasons to break free from calorie confusion
Listen
Note 1
The idea that you burn a set number of calories per day is false. If you count calories to cut calories, you will burn fewer calories.
Note 2
You cannot accurately calculate how many calories you burn. Over 70% of the calories you burn have nothing to do with exercise or conscious movement.
Note 3
If you starve yourself, you will become ravenously hungry. Then your metabolism will slow down. Then you’ll burn muscle. Then you’ll burn fat. Then you’ll give in to hunger. Then you’ll be fatter and sicker than ever.
