Burning Calories and weight loss.
Burning calories is NOT an effective means of monitoring your weight loss for several reasons. One of the big failures lies in the fact that the calories in food have nothing to do with their nutritional value. Calories are one thing and nutritional value is another matter. Counting calories bears no relationship to its food value. You could very rapidly acquire your permitted calorie intake by chewing an a bag of candies or chocolates and I am sure the consequences of that sort of diet would soon prove disastrous. Calories in fruit can also be misleading too, all fruit is low in protein and contains mostly water and dietary fiber(a good thing) but it also contains fructose or fruit sugar and this DEFINITELY doesn't encourage weight loss. Another suggestion!!! You could in fact reach your daily calorie quota by just drinking your calories in wine. (make mine red) However I don't think this would be a very smart idea as it would be sadly lacking in nutritional value and I hate to think of the ongoing head aches. oooOO! pass me the pain killers. I once was involved in a very intense course of study wherein I was required to spend 6 hours per day listening to taped lectures. This happened over a fairly long period resulting in me consuming bags of candies to help me stay awake as I found some of the subject matter quite boring . As a consequence I developed Hypoglycemia. The consequences of hypoglycemia can produce some horrible affects and it doesn't improve your weight loss prospects either as the sugar gets converted into fat.(Been there done that). If you look at burning calorie tables and exercise, You will find an average person walking for 1 hour at 4 miles per hour(6 km) burns about 250 calories. What it doesn't tell you is, that if you sat around relaxed and did very little you would still be shedding calories at at about 130 per hour. Net advantage after walking briskly and sweating for 1 hour is only about 120 calories. Not much of an improvement for an hours effort is it?. Exercise is good for you in lots of ways but just by itself it doesn't do much for losing weight as exercise can also make you thirsty, so watch out for any sweet drinks like Coke. A can of Coke has about 300 calories!!! I shall leave you to reach your own conclusions, but the figures sure make interesting reading. What I consider far more interesting is, because calories take NO ACCOUNT OF NUTRITIONAL VALUE(sugar is a good example) we can easily provide our calorie requirements and yet provide virtually no nutrition to our bodies. You may think you are satisfied but your body has its own specific nutritional requirements and when these are not met, IT SENDS OUT HUNGRY SIGNALS. The result is, you are always ready to eat and often in excess. This can make it difficult to say "no" to those snacks etc. If you want to be able to easily say "Thank you, not for me" and not feel deprived, you need to make sure your body is receiving its nutritional requirements. I can assure you its much easier to lose weight this way than trying to keep a record of burning calories. May I suggest you
