Do you have friends or family members who seem to be able to eat whatever they want and never gain a pound? If you are wondering how they do that, here are some common reasons and what you can learn from them to help you in your own weight loss effort.
1. EAT LESS THAN 2000 CALORIES PER DAY OF ANYTHING YOU WANT BECAUSE…
It’s NOT WHAT You Eat that makes you fat or slim… It’s HOW MUCH You Eat or the amount of calories you eat that makes you gain weight, lose weight or maintain your current weight.
Look at the picture below to get a better idea why it does not matter WHAT you eat…
So if we use the picture above as an example…
- If your metabolism burns 2000 calories per day and you eat 2000 calories per day then you’re going to maintain your weight and it Does NOT Matter where the 2000 calories you eat comes from but…
- If you eat more than 2000 calories per day when your metabolism only burns 2000 calories per day then You’re going to gain weight EVEN IF you ate the healthiest foods because your body stores the extra calories you eat as fat.
- If you eat less than 2000 calories per day of anything you want when your metabolism burns 2000 calories per day then you will start losing weight or burning off fat for energy to make up for the lack of energy from the calories you’re not eating.
Since the average person who’s trying to lose weight needs to eat more than 2000 calories per day to maintain or gain weight…
