Why Counting Calories Doesn’t Work (And What Does)

Why Counting Calories Doesn’t Work (And What Does)

The key to your weight loss success with Personal Trainer Food lies in one powerful concept about calories…not all calories are created equal.

If two people were given 1,600 calories per day and one chose to eat vegetables, nuts, eggs and lean proteins while the other person ate foods full of refined sugar, fried meat, pastas and potatoes and processed snacks, would you consider these equal? Other than having the same amount of calories, it’s hard to say they are similar in any other way.

That’s why just counting calories won’t always result in weight loss. By sourcing your calories from foods high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other essential nutrients, your body will have the fuel it needs to get through the day and store only what’s necessary.

The dangers of counting calories

Scientists agree that counting calories can sabotage your weight loss efforts and keep you from getting the body of your dreams.

In an animal study published in the medical journal Lancet, researchers fed lab rats either a low-fat or low-carb diet. They were astounded to discover that rats on the low-fat diet put on 70% MORE body fat than the rats eating low-carb did.

Even more shocking, those low-fat rats gained that astounding amount of weight while eating fewer calories!

Eat MORE of the RIGHT kinds of calories — and LOSE weight!

This is why the Personal Trainer Food program is so effective. We cut out the starches and sugars that make you STORE fat.  Instead you eat the lean proteins, good fats and healthy carbs that help you BURN fat.

With Personal Trainer Food, you get perfectly balanced, pre-cooked meals that contain only delicious meats, seafood, eggs, cheese, nuts and vegetables. No fillers, hidden sugars, bad carbs, or trans fats.

At PTF, we’ve done all the work so you don’t have to. That’s why our program is so effective. Find the Personal Trainer Food program that’s right for you. And finally have the body you deserve.
