1400 Calorie Diet
You can lose weight without eating a single “low-calorie” food or “100-calorie” pack. Not all calories are created equal. Know how to assess the quality of your calories. Calories are not the only thing a dieter should be concerned about when looking at nutrition labels. In order to make your calories count, you have to choose filling foods that have nutritional value.
The ultimate truth of dieting is that to lose weight you have to consume fewer calories than you burn. While it is important to be calorie conscious, it is detrimental to become calorie obsessed. If you have an encyclopedic knowledge of the calorie contents of nearly every food, you need to relax.
Food is about more than calories. When you look at a food label, do your eyes stop searching after scanning the calorie content? If you are only concerned with calories, you can easily rob your body of the nutrients it needs. Low-calorie foods often lack substance, so you may always feel hungry (which can lead to overeating and sabotage your dieting efforts). You can feel full while dieting, but you have to retrain your mind to look beyond the caloric value on food labels.
