You really don't need to count calories if you get into a healthy eating pattern. Feven if you were just making an effort to eat healthy and sensible you would choose the apple over the brownie.

I've found, kernow, that when I keep myself accountable by counting calories, I'll choose that 80 calorie apple instead of the 400 calorie brownie so that I don't end up with too big of a number at the end of the day. If I'm naughty and choose the brownie... well then I end up sick and dizzy from having only a brownie for lunch and eventually I remember it's not a good choice to "blow" my 400 calories set aside for lunch.

By counting the calories you get an idea of how much you are over eating.. It will help you make better decisions about what you can and can't eat.. Some things that you think are good for diets turn out to be really high in calories/fat/sugars or all three.. you don't find that out till you calculate the calories. but ultimately kernow, by ‘eating sensibly’ you are actually reducing your calorie intake, and that is what makes you lose weight.

It would be great having a guideline like that. That’s a very good idea and I really need to check into that diet more deeply. It would be great having a guideline like that.

You are almost killing two birds with one stone. If I started a diet, I would either count my calories or start a diabetic diet. I think that a diabetic diet would be one of the best ones to follow.

If you want to lose weight, take in fewer calories. To gain weight, take in more. Which mean if you exceed your calories for the day by 200 you need to burn off an extra 200 by exercising. As simple as it is to understand....it's tough to actually do! Weight control is really very simple: You must take in no more calories than you burn.

I don't follow any sort of dietary regime but I'm not unmindful to making healthy choices and rewarding myself with the occasional treat. On the plus side, I like all the good-for-you stuff. On the minus, I have a real sweet tooth! I do think the diabetic diet is well balanced and healthy.
