Slimming Down - Fast!

I’m willing to bet that most of you walk around with 2 huge misconceptions – er. Misconceptions that can make a big difference to your understanding of how weight loss works!

Why am I willing to make this bet? Because even though I studied the topic at Uni I too thought the same. Before I tell you the first one, here’s what I want you to do.

When I tell you the first big misconception I want you imagine me giving you £5 if I am right. Similarly, I want you to imagine receiving £10 from me if I am right. What is my claim? My claim is that I’m betting that you thought that “All Calories Are the Same” or put another way “calories are calories are calories”.

That is my claim but it is not true Not All Calories Are the Same!

To be fair I could have framed this better and asked you “Do you think that your body responds in the same way to all calories?” It is another way of asking you if you consider all calories to be the same. But now that you’ve thought of it for more than a second, I’m certain you can see that if you ate 100 calories of say potato mash (carbs) or 100 calories of prime Angus Steak (protein) or 100 calories of ice-cream that your body would deal each of them differently.

Naturally, things become more complex with real meals when you combine carbs, fats and protein together. What matters in real life is the ratio between the three types of calories, (the portion size of each kind), when you eat your meals, the efficiency of your digestive system, the extent to which you chew your food and how your body allocates those calories towards fat loss and muscle gain.

So what’s my point? For slimming down, losing weight or gaining weight it’s useful to understand some of the common misconceptions (in this case that all calories are the same) and how if not properly understood, they can lead you to sabotage your own goals.

To your greater weight loss
