WHY YOU SHOULDN'T COUNT CALORIES

Away with the calculator! Here are the explanations why you shouldn't be counting calories!

If someone told you that a serving of kale and a piece of cake have the same number of calories, what would you eat of them? The truth is, not all types of calories come from the same origin.  techqueer

If you want to lose weight or do something for your health, then sometimes calorie counting makes sense. But what stocks are the quality of the food? But other reasons go against counting calories. Here are some examples:  digitalknowledgetoday

 

1. Nutrient-rich (and often high-calorie) foods keep you full longer

Calories from nutrient-rich foods have entirely different effects on the body than processed or refined carbohydrates. Even if foods high in nutrients are very high in calories, you can provide your body with the right mix of carbohydrates, nutrients, and vitamins and keep hunger at bay for a long time.   healthnutritionhints

 

High-quality, high-calorie foods that ensure a slow release of energy are, for example:

·        Avocados

·        nuts

·        Eggs

·        Leaf salads

·        broccoli

·        Animals that fed on grass

2. Fat-free, low-calorie food can lead to overeating.

On the different side of the scale are nutrient-poor foods, after which we quickly feel hungry again, mentally tired and lacking in concentration, and deprived of the optimal supply of nutrients for our body. Portioned microwave dishes are an excellent example of this. Many are fortified with chemicals and inflammatory ingredients, making our bodies vulnerable to many health problems.  smartdiethealth

These quick meals are often very sugary and can drive blood sugar levels and insulin spikes. More fat is kept in the body than with high-calorie or nutrient-rich food.  healthfitnesschampion

3. Counting calories can be bad for the psyche Counting

calories is a challenge when you are invited to parties, weddings, dinners, or other social events. While celebrations like this are supposed to be enjoyed (and that includes the culinary benefits of it), the only thing you are concerned with is how many calories are in your girlfriend's lasagna.  

Our national of mind dramas a significant role in how our bodies use the food we eat. If you are always stressed trying to find out how many calories are in your food, your digestion is constrained by cortisol production. It results in the body storing fat.

4. Calorie counting sometimes leads to us eating more junk food

When the delicious chocolate muffin exceeds our calorie limit, we tend to leave out fruit and meat to "afford" the unhealthy delicacy. Counting calories should not lead to the fact that we only consume unhealthy or high-calorie food up to a specific limit.

Instead, try to find healthier alternatives, like avocado as an ingredient in the chocolate cake (perfect substitute for butter) or whole-grain cereals instead of muesli mixes with too much sugar. Research has shown that the highest calorie intake should be in the morning. Because of the good metabolic activity, the waist becomes slimmer.

So we conclude that we shouldn't start counting calories in the first place. As long as you give your body the nutrient-rich food it needs, high in nutrient-rich proteins and whole-fledged fats, you don't need a daily calorie limit.
