Is a calorie a calorie ?

Funnydream

"We all have to agree to disagree here. We all have to live in the middle and admit that healthy food AND healthy intake is the best way to lose weight (I'm talking real weight here)."

Too right.....

Dr Bray in my opinions is very uncredible. You are entitled to believe what you want to believe.

I am living proof of Dr Taubes, Dr Atkins, Weston Price and a host of others that have proven time and time again that calories are not equal.

When I eat a diet full of natural fats (Yes, saturated fats included), protein, vegetables and some fruit. My body functions properly in every form and fashion, inside and out..............I have lots of energy to exercise, sleep well and just an over all feeling of wellness.

The whole weight loss scenario is not as simple as calories in, calories out.

The whole calorie thing is dependent on the QUALITY of calories you put in your body, not the QUANTITY.

I proved to myself that I can eat upwards of 2,000 calories a day and lose weight fine doing higher fat, moderate protein and lower carbs, than I can on a low to moderate calorie, higher carb plan......................i didn't even believe my own doctor when he first started telling me this back in 2003. I had to research it, read it and learn it for myself............

Case in point...............

A calorie is a Calorie violates the second law of thermodynamics................
