Simply put, all calories are not created equal. Think about it this way—a 100-calorie bag of potato chips does not offer the same nutritional value as a 100-calorie baked potato. Some foods have no nutritional value whatsoever. These are called “empty calories”. These types of processed, refined foods are not fueling your body. They leave you hungry shortly after consuming them, and they are damaging your body.
You do not have to excessively deplete calories to burn fat and build lean tissue. Anyone can lose weight with extreme dieting and extreme calorie restriction. What most people do not realize is that if the scale goes down with extreme dieting, much of it is water weight and muscle loss—not fat loss. We want to utilize strategies that will burn unwanted fat, and fueling your body with a balanced diet of macronutrients (carbs, fats, and protein) will help you become a pro-fat burner. While excessive calorie restriction may offer short-term results, it isn’t sustainable long-term. That’s why you’re constantly on the weight loss roller coaster. Long-term calorie restriction results in loss of muscle mass, decreased energy, fatigue, lack of nutrients to support body functions, and more. On the other hand, consuming appropriate amounts of carbs, fats, and proteins supports hormone health, energy, and fat loss goals. 🔥
