This happens as a form of self-defense against being poisoned since the body doesn’t recognize them, and to get that “toxic trash” out of our circulation and away from key organs. Because many of these ingredients are fat-soluble, your body stores them in its fat instead of using them for energy or cell repair. We are not designed to process and assimilate things like preservatives, pesticides, additives, stabilizers, and other artificial ingredients. There’s more in our food than just food, and those “extras” impact the body and mess with the calories in/calories out belief.
The soda also contains ingredients that have been genetically modified, so it’s likely there are also pesticides in there as well which also have a negative impact on the body. Each of these ingredients triggers a reaction in the body.įor example, research repeatedly shows that artificial sweeteners like aspartame can cause weight gain and impair metabolism since the body doesn’t recognize them.
Water contains water, but diet soda contains carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate, natural flavors, acesulfame-potassium, and caffeine. The body reacts to what we put in it, the ingredients.
Neither of them has calories, but does that make sense? No! The body doesn’t treat diet soda the same way it treats water. But your body does not metabolize and process all types of calories in the same way.įor example with this concept, diet soda is equivalent to water. This belief treats all calories equally, regardless of source. Problem 1: All Calories are Created Equal There are also a lot of variables that come when we try to control it ourselves. It makes sense we’d take that and apply it literally to our exercise and eating habits, our brain loves to draw connections and streamline.īut there are SO many variables that will affect both the number of calories that your body uses/burns (the effectiveness of your metabolism) and the amount that will be expended. The laws of thermodynamics are true: if you use more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. The more you add fuel to the fire, the stronger it burns. But when you eat more, your body burns more. When you deprive your body of the energy it needs, it fights back and actually conserves its own energy by slowing down your metabolism. Nearly all calorie counters/calorie restrictors eventually re-gain any weight lost through restriction of calories back after they lose it! You wouldn’t expect your car to run better if you take away the gas, so why would you expect your body to work better when you deprive it of calories? Ultimately, “calories in and calories out” is a fundamentally flawed view.īy definition, a calorie is: the energy it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.Ĭalories are just energy that fuels the body to make it run, just like gasoline fuels our cars. They initially came to me eating less calories than they were burning in a day (like 800-1000 calories + intense workouts), and were so frustrated and confused why the weight wasn’t just melting off.Ĭan you imagine, or maybe you’ve been there yourself, constantly feeling deprived, dissatisfied, hungry, and tired all the time, and STILL not seeing progress? Maybe that’s you right now?Īcting on this belief is actually impairing your progress, and keeping you stuck and frustrated. I believed that for a long time myself, and I’ve worked with so many clients who did too.
We’ve been taught that it’s simple: eat less than you burn off, and you’ll lose weight.
