How Counting Calories Turns Into an Epic Fail

Hello

How are you doing?

Alright, you've made it through the first week of 2021.

How are you doing with healthy eating and healthy lifestyle?

Why is it so hard? You came into this world with normal eating habits, only eating when hungry and stopping when not.

You were free from addiction to sugar, fast food, junk food, sweets and chips.

You were free from overeating.

By being made to finish everything, by being taught that food is for comfort or reward. By eating the wrong food, you've established a negative pattern.

Take Melissa (not her real name) she was trying so hard to lose weight by counting calories and maintaining a calorie deficit. She wrote on my fb biz page:

"I’m doing a calorie deficit so why am I GAINING weight?!? It feels like I can’t stop gaining which is crazy! I should at least be maintaining my current weight or ideally LOSING weight. This is soooo frustrating!!!"

I asked her to send me what she was eating.

She wrote, "My calorie limit is that I need 2,141 to lose weight."

Sure enough, she was way under her calorie intake, but the food she was eating was mostly unhealthy food.

There weren't any fruits, very few vegetables, mostly bad carbs and sweets and not enough protein.

A super easy thing for her to do, would be to join my Free Clean Carbs Challenge.

She could learn how to replace her not so healthy carbs with good quality carbs, and drop the pounds easily!

She'll get tons of healthy recipes and learn simple steps to jump start a healthy way of eating that's sustainable long term.
