Counting calories isn't really possible. First of all, to do it right
you have to weigh and measure everything you eat. Second of all,
there's no way to accurately measure how many calories you burn in a
day, and that's not taking into account how many calories are absorbed
and how different people process different foods differently. I grew up
eating the same food in the same amounts that my brothers did and i
was "husky" and they were thin. I obviously processed my food
differently than them. I was even more active. Height/weight charts
don't agree, and all those calorie counters on the net all give
different numbers. If you go to 5 different websites you'll get 5
different answers as to how many calories you need to eat. I weigh
220lbs and I've "found out" using those websites that I need to eat
anywhere from 2200 to 2800 a day. That's a big difference. Which one's
right? If I want to lose weight I'd obviously pick the lower number.
But why wouldn't I just eat as little as I can without going insane?
And if I'm willing to do that, why don't I just eat only healthy food
that's high volume, high nutrient, high fiber etc that way I can eat
alot and feel full and naturally get the lowest calories possible? Why
don't I do that right off the bat without counting anything or
resorting to those charts? The reason I don't do any of that is because
I can't do any of that. If I could, I would have already. I would have
never had a weight problem to begin with. The reality is once I start
eating I can't stop. Eating triggers more eating. My only hope is to
hold off until the end of the day when it's near impossible to overeat.
My body has the whole day to rest and cleanse itself and burn off
excess fat via the fasting hormone response and the end of the day to
eat. Eating less is a side effect of F5, not a goal. If I were to eat 3
meals a day and count the calories and compare that to a day when I'm
on F5, because it's an experiment I would find out that I ate less on
f5. But if I wasn't doing an experiment and just ate 3 meals a day I
would also be inclined to snack here and there because I'd have started
the day with my insulin being thrown sky high and as a result, no
matter what I ate or what the amounts were I'd never feel "full" and
would be inclined to eat more than I need. It's not a fair comparison.
I'm not comparing apples to apples. I can't compare something that's
stupid to something that's intelligent. It's really a no brainer.
