6 Reasons Why a Calorie is NOT a Calorie - Healthy Ketogenic Diet

I was not expecting advocates of eating healthy carbs to admit that a calorie is not a calorie and that there are dangers to eating carbohydrates! And then this article happened. A miracle? More like, sometimes the facts are just the facts.

It is important for us to understand that when you try to understand the impact of calories vs carbs, calories vs hormones, and specifically calories vs insulin, you are trying to understand what your body actually does with food rather than what you imagine your body does with food.

When it come to calories vs macros, your body understand macros and uses them to energize and build itself. Your body is not calculating calorie content in the way that we use that information. Your body can accept a large amount of energy from fat without increasing your body weight because fat's impact on your body is not toxic and the hormone response from insulin remains low.

This is a very simplistic explanation but it focuses on the important point that small amounts of carbohydrates can lead to weight gain whereas large amounts of fat does not. There is actually a difference between carbs and fat as energy sources for the body.

Health and happiness take work. Make working on it part of your daily routine.

PS. When I began my journey to solve my hip issue, I did a lot of research to find answers to my hip inflammation. I realize, that there may be people who do not know how to find a mentor for weight loss and especially, finding the right mentor for weight loss. I really hope that these videos help you to see that my goal is to be that right mentor for weight loss. Because I will continually do the research necessary to give you the most up to date information that I have.

Please keep in mind that these videos are for educational purposes. I encourage everyone who wants to take action to find a psychologist to work with. Working with a psychologist is not only more efficient, but also keep in mind that a psychologist is trained to help people solve problems.
