Just a quick search on google on, 'How to count calories and lose weight' will bring up over 13,500,000 website results
With tons of 'formulas' to work out your daily calorie needs there is also confusion amongst people as to what is true
Most will give you different results
And while most personal trainers will use Harris Benedict or Mifflin-St Jeor to give you your calories
The truth is that...
While this is an ok guide
It is not science
It is a theory
And This Is Why You Don't Have To Count Calories To Lose Weight
Imagine This
Let's take 2 females
Both the same age, height, weight...
Have the exact same jobs and active lifestyle
So...
Both will come out on the same amount of calories for the day
BUT....
There is no way of knowing how each individual burns calories
So the theory above is just that... it is a theory... and not a science as most personal trainers would have you to believe
Not All Calories Are Equal
Take 2 chickens breasts
Same weight
Guess what
There is no way to tell you exactly how many calories are in each chicken breast
They can guess (which they do)
But there is no way of telling you
Then you have the type of food you are eating
280 calories of chocolate bar
Or... 280 calories of nuts
You Don't Need To Count Calories To Lose Weight
You can lose weight by following 3 very simple principles
Step 1: Stick To Single Ingredient Foods
80% of your food intake from the week should come from
Vegetables
Fruit
Lean Meat
Good Fats (nuts and seeds and oils)
Complex Carbs
Step 2: Keep It Simple
Try and eat 3 meals and 2 snacks per day
Meal 1: Veg, Lean Protein, Good Fat
Snack 1: Fruit and Protein (yoghurt)
Meal 2: Veg, Lean Protein, Good Fat, Complex Carbs
Snack 2: Fruit and Protein (yoghurt)
Meal 3: Veg, Lean Protein, Good Fat, Complex Carbs
Step 3: Enjoy Your Treats
If you are someone who enjoys chocolate or alcohol then learn to manage it and install it in your diet
Remember at the start... 80% of your diet from the above... which leaves 20% for the treats
Bonus Step: Habits create results..
By learning new habits and installing them in to your daily routine you are more likely to
keep the weight off and sustain a new lifestyle
Apart from counting calories being a headache and very time consuming
If it is not a HABIT you want to keep long-term then it is not something you are going to stick at
So by learning to eat the right foods at the start and building your plan over the weeks to achieve the above you will be successful
The Most Important Part of Any Weight Loss Plan
Any new plan you embark on MUST fit around your
Life
Family
Work
Beliefs
This is why it must be individual and built just for you
By following generic plans they do not take this in to account and this is another reason why most people fail
During our 6-Week Body Transformation Challenge all members are given individual workout programs that are based on their experience, movement and goals
And their food plans are build based on the above
We do not give our generic plans
And this is why you can see all the fantastic testimonials on our pages
It is because clients are treated as individuals
This is the fastest way for you to get results
