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.
