Different Calories

Counting calories isn’t always effective because not all calories are created equal, and they have a different effect on your body. Protein, fat, and carbs don’t burn an equal amount of energy, and nutrients can vary by many other factors, including season, variety, and ripeness.

Frequent Inaccuracies

No matter how much effort you put into counting calories, the number of calories you consumed and burned in a day will never be 100% accurate. Labels can lie, and counting calories on your own can lead to mistakes, but it’s also important to note that our bodies don’t necessarily absorb all calories we consume.

Mental Health Effect

In addition to being a pretty inaccurate method of tracking progress, counting calories can also be bad for your mental health. People tend to be healthier and happier when they’re eating the right types of calories with no restriction, and you’ll have a better chance of seeing progress if you embrace this approach.

Don’t Drink Calories

We often forget that most of the things we drink in a day are high in calories too. Fruit juices and smoothies, that are usually considered healthy, contain lots of added sugar so make sure to watch your intake and reduce the amount of sugar in your drinks.

Cook Your Own Food

Preparing your own meals is the best way to gain control over what you eat. Restaurant food may be tasty, but it’s less healthy than we think because it contains lots of fat and sugar that we don’t usually notice.

Eat Your Meals Slowly

Studies have shown that people who eat slowly consume fewer calories per meal. This simple trick will not only help you lose weight, but it’ll also improve your digestion and give you time to fully enjoy your meals.

Before you start this and eat lots of salads during the week and then tons of ice cream and fried foods on the weekend, this is not how it works. You need to know what foods are filled with good calories and which have bad calories. Measure the ratio of the number of fruits, vegetables, and nuts that you are consuming with the bad calories of those filled with sugar or high in fat.

Some of the compliant foods for the healthy 80 percent of your diet are; plant-based foods, lean animal protein, whole grains, low-fat dairy, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. And the suggested foods to indulge in for the 20 percent are foods high in saturated fat, highly processed food, alcohol, and white sugar.

Working out the 80/20 rule might take a little bit of math. Before you start this diet you want to write down your weekly intake of food and their calorie amounts. This will give you a baseline of how much you consume over a week. Once you have worked this out you can calculate the calories that make up the 80 percent, including all the meals and the snacks, and then everything else you eat would be in the remaining 20 percent.

It might take a while to get the hang of it but once you know how to do it you will see great weight loss results and it will become a way of life.

Drink More Water

Staying hydrated through the day is very important, and we usually don’t know how dehydrated we are. Some of us confuse our thirst signals with hunger signals and that’s how that big fat burger gets eaten. Always keep a bottle of water close by. There are also great apps that can remind you to stay hydrated.

Eat More Superfoods

Start adding superfoods to your daily meals that are full of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that will boost up your energy. Skip the bacon, and choose blueberries, goji berries, and yogurt as your breakfast option.

Find an Active Hobby

You don’t like the gym? No problem! You can still be active without going to the gym. Just find an interesting hobby that you love, but make sure it’s a physical one. Walking tours, hiking, or dancing, what do you think?

Drink Coffee

Unfortunately, the experts don’t have a precise answer. The best they can say is “possibly.” According to Dr. Preethi Daniel, Clinical Director at London Doctors Clinics, it depends on your basal metabolic rate. Basal metabolic rate is “the amount of energy we expend per unit time at rest or a measure of how quickly you break down fuels (calories) to keep your cells running,” she explains.

While BMR varies with activity levels, it’s also influenced by the weather and climate, at least in theory. “Warmer weather may cause a slight increase in the basal metabolic rate, helping you burn those calories a little bit faster because the body is working extra hard to keep you cool,” Dr. Preethi Daniel says.
