Yes I understand what you are saying, What I will say and I dont read the forum all the time, honestly when I go to add to my diary and I see a thread that sounds interesting on that left side I might click and that is how I ran into this thread yesterday so I dont frequent this forum. However in the past I have seen it…

Really now you are resorting to false accusations? Wow

Exactly I eat better food that gives longer energy keeps me full which empowers me to lose wait The say blanket statement calories is a calorie to a person who is first trying to lose weight can be very misleading

Exactly

It was in response to the person who commented that changing the type of foods I get calories from had no effect on me losing weight

No just guess seeing it so many times I finally decided to voice it

Just by osmosis right All I needed to do was wait for osmosis to begin

I appreciate that I'm sure your a good person and help a lot of people and probably go through much detail with them I am not mad nor unforgiving nor do I say you or anyone specific said this or that No I didn't read the whole thread I read some and have seen this blanket statement multiple times on this forum I just felt…

Ok but the point is If someone is new and dont know what is what. Do you think they will automaticly know that without being educated, Thats my piont When the average person who is not as knowledgable in this are hears a calorie in just a calorie, Like my Doc said dont worry about what foods you eat just cap your calories.…

Yes because the calories I now eat work better empowering me to take in less calories overall, I cant say I eat less sometimes I eat more but the calories are now less because I don't have to binge every couple week's any more & I am not suffering with hunger anymore

I eat less calories over all because the calories I changed to gave me more energy that last longer and also no longer binge eat because the calories I eat now fulfill me, So I am not starving any more

Fair enough I only read about 5 pages spread out. You are correct this is the debate forum. I probably should have read the whole thread 1st

My calorie intake is less because the calories I take in work better

Point is you feel I am trying to put you down, I am not. Its not personal and I am not making any personal attacks.

Because I don't really want to argue or make everyone angry and I can see this is going nowhere All I wanted to do is try and make people aware that the blanket statement that a calorie is just a calorie can cause harm. I didnt get it here when I was told this it was from my heart doctor well before I seen this forum. All…

I do now, The point is at one time I didn't, I looked for advise from those that are supposed to be experts. to say a calorie is a calorie and then say well you need to learn physics is ridiculous. I am not going to sell and Insurance policy without breaking it down to an understandable language that people can understand…

A person 1st learning to lose weight needs to know what will work in the real world

Of course it makes sense I can compare and say calories from this works better for energy and sustaining hunger the those calories I needed to learn to eat because I never eat properly my whole life and going to experts that told me a calorie is a calorie just work on less calories and you will lose weight. I spent so much…

Not sure what you mean a calories is a unit of measure in energy If you have 300 calories in pure suger vrs 300 calories in complex carbs you will have difrent longevity of energy that would be like going to the Indy 500 with a beat up old car because a car is a car

I found that advice had done more harm then good for me and kept me in a struggle for too long, Now I know a calorie is not a calorie and I can sustain more energy and stay full on less and now I have lost 60 Lbs since last April. After reading an article how calorie is not really equal to a calorie. This was the first…

Exacly, thats why a calorie is not a calorie

How can a calorie be just a calorie as calories are supposed to = energy In my experience I can eat bad foods and have a lot of calories and very little energy besides constant hunger However since changing my diet to mostly whole foods I find I have more energy less hunger on much less calories. I had tried to lose wieght…
