Counting Calories
Key points:
- Eating the right foods is important for fast results but…
- Getting the right amount of food is even more important!
- You need targets specific to you to get the fastest results
- Over eating means you’ll gain weight
- Less calories does not always mean faster results
- Under eating too much kills your metabolism and stops your results
- There’s a “sweet spot” in terms of calories that will get you the best results
- It’s easy to get the wrong amount of calories by “just eating healthy”
- People cannot notice the difference between:
- Over eating by 20% (which means gaining 20lbs in a year)
- Under eating by 20% (can slow your metabolism)
