243. Why Counting Calories Doesn’t Work


Listen Later

When it comes to weight loss tips, one principle stands out among all the others: counting calories.

For decades, you’ve been told that the only way to lose weight is to make sure you count all your calories.

Honestly, if this worked as advertised, we wouldn’t have a crisis of obesity here in this country, and no one would struggle with their weight.

But the truth is, it doesn’t work.

Today on the podcast, why counting calories doesn’t work and what you should probably do instead.
