How to Cut Calories Without Stressing Over Counting Them
I have never been a fan of counting calories but I do understand the importance of calorie count in the meals that we eat. When it comes to weight loss, if you overeat in calories, you gain weight. If you cut back your calories, you lose weight. There are other factors involved as well such as carbohydrate and fat intake. However, most people focus a lot of their weight loss efforts on calorie counts.
I've tried counting calories in the past. It was just something that never seemed to stick. I'd do so well for about a week and then I would become frustrated and annoyed with having to keep up with it. I looked for an easier way and found it with clean eating. You are probably familiar with the term "eating clean" as a lot of athletes and professional bodybuilders practice this way of eating.
The reason there is less worry about counting calories is because you are not filling your stomach with processed junk food. Clean eating involves sticking to foods in their most natural state. This means consuming lots of fruits and vegetables. Eating lean cuts of meat and seafood by cooking them yourself instead of opting for what you order through a drive-thru window.
If you do dine out, you make healthier choices by skipping anything processed. It is a healthy lifestyle that keeps the excess weight off and also gives you more energy as you are not bogged down by poor carbs and high fat foods. If you need help figuring out how this lifestyle works, you can check out a number of websites devoted to the topic or pick up books and magazines to learn how it's done. Bodybuilding magazines are most popular for demonstrating clean eating recipes.
I'm not perfect when it comes to eating this way but I do try to stick to it at least 80% of the time. It takes the guesswork out of what I should be eating and I don't worry myself over having to keep track of every single calorie I eat.
Another easy way I keep eating clean is by drinking Shakeology. It is a healthy meal in a glass and reduces my cravings for junk food and sweets. Take the 30-day Bottom-of-the-Bag guarantee and experience the benefits for yourself.
