If you've ever gone on a diet to lose weight, you’ve heard you should eat fewer calories. Today I'll explain why counting calories is a BAD idea, at least for most people. It has various harmful effects, including a slower metabolism, muscle loss, and yo-yo dieting. I’ll also explain exactly what you should do instead of counting calories: Focus on the TYPE of food you're eating, and the TIMING (i.e. when and how often you eat). If you get those two variables dialed in, typically everything else will fall into place.
