Losing Weight Beyond Calorie Counting

The ubiquitous strategy for losing weight in one way shape or form (no pun intended), comes back to calorie counting. Whether that is the right or "not so right" approach, at the minimum, people for the most part have heard of "calorie counting". 

It is a strategy, but we thought that there are more effective approaches on how you view your diet, before even considering calorie counting. The following are the some examples: 

• Nutrient and Meal Timing is a thing - Consume your energy around exercise and when you are most active; that way you optimize your blood sugar controls and metabolic activity. 
• Fiber with every meal - quick read on fiber here
• Uptake protein - Protein helps your body feel satiated, yields eating less carbs, maintains level of lean mass, During weight loss, protein and complex foods are most helpful.
• Eat out less - by the sheer fact you of not having complete control of your food, we don't say stop doing it (because we need to enjoy life), but "eating at home" per say has been found to be more conducive to weight management.

• Love your veggies more than you love your fruits  - veggies are higher in fibers and complex carbs. Fruits are an essential part of your diet, but the sugar intake is always a call out when eating fruits.
