Diet and Weight Loss - The Calorie Counting Game

For many of us trying to diet and lose weight it seems to turn into a simple calorie counting game. As long as your calorie intake is less than what you burn each day you will lose weight or is that really true. That is true to a point but a low calorie diet can actually hurt you and may possibly never result in weight loss. Because your metabolism may slow down or completely shut down and result in you getting fatter and fatter.


Truth is that it's more important where your calories come from. Just cutting your calories may result in no weight loss. Also could leave you tired and hungry. In some cases dieting this way may make you very sick. It can be especially dangerous if you already have health problems such as diabetes or heart disease. That is really all there is to it. So, don't go running off starving yourself just to lose a few pounds. If you learn how to eat the right foods at the right times for the rest of your life and get the proper daily exercise you will lose weight now and keep it off for good.


After all, losing a huge amount of weight and then putting right back on much like a yo-yo gets you nowhere. That's why almost all diets require you keep up dieting and get at least a little bit of exercise at the same time. Then and only then will you be able to keep the weight off for years rather than weeks.
