why counting calories doesn’t work 👋

I have said my goodbye to calorie counting for months now and it was a real game-changer! I have been able to maintain my weight without the stress of counting calories. It is all about shifting the focus away from numbers and towards understanding what our bodies truly need.

Now, I am all about mindful, intuitive eating, listening to my body, enjoying my meals, and appreciating food. Calorie counting just could not provide the same joy and connection with what I eat.

On a scientific note, our bodies have evolved over millions of years, adapting clever mechanisms to survive. When we restrict calories, our survival mode kicks in, increasing hunger hormones like ghrelin, pushing us towards carbs with Neuropeptide Y, and reducing satiety signals like leptin.

After I stopped counting my calories, I felt a lot happier and enjoyed my workout more. Trust our bodies and break free from the calorie-counting cycle!
