Thanks everybody, I am researching. I guess I just always thought losing weight was simple: burn more calories than you take in.   |
Basically you are correct in that it is cals in versus cals out but cals are not all equall. From reading some of your posts I can see that you know a bit about your car so we will use that as an example. You can add headers, a cai and cam ( we'll call that muscle) which is great and then fill up with low octane fuel (we'll call that poor food choices) you still have a full tank and will get performance benefits, or you can fill your tank with high octane fuel ( good food choices) and the performance increases. Now we can go drag racing and fill your tank(stomach) it slows you down so for each run you put enough fuel to make your run and not much more ( portion control), If you fill it up all the extra fuel is stored in your tank but if you don't use it it eventually goes bad, your body does not efficiently store fuel for future use,it does efficiently store fat so all the extra cals (gas) goes bad (turns to fat). Get the idea?
