Is counting calories work?



Many diet specialists believe counting calories while you’re on diet is important. If you know how much calories you take per day, you’ll calculate unwanted calories you have to burn in order to lose your weight. I don’t think it’s a bad theory but it’s boring and difficult to know exactly calories for all food and drink you eat.

For example, eating a cheeseburger (127 g.), you’ll get 343 calories. Are you sure that weight of your burger is really 127 g.? Don’t tell me you’ve check before you eat it. Although the weight is correct, the number of calories depends on ingredients of that cheeseburger. Every restaurant has its own recipe so the calories cannot be exactly the same. You’ll be fine if the calorie of your cheese burger is underestimated. Do you ever think about the overestimated case?  You say “it’s possible. If so, I think it’s not over too much so I have nothing to worry about it”. Yes, it can be true but you don’t eat only one cheese burger per day, right?

When you’re on diet you should consume food containing calories less than 1400 – 1200 per day. Have more? You have to burn it out such as doing exercise. For example, swimming (freestyle, fast) can burn 704 calories in 1 hour. The question is whether you swim fast enough to meet that standard rate and get rid of the over calories.

When you make the mistake about calculation, underestimated calories in and overestimated calories out, disaster can happen.  

For me, this method is too complicated and uneasy to follow. If you can do it, it’s good. If you cannot do it, I’ve easier way for you.  Next time I will tell you how to do it. Absolutely, it’s a healthy diet. Besides your new perfect shape, your health is better too. It really works for me and I believe it’ll work for you as well.
