In recent years, many people have been convinced that counting calories is not necessary if you want to lose weight and then manage your weight properly. I do not understand this view; it is, in fact, quite foolish.
Calories in food come from three macronutrients, which include carbohydrate, protein, and fat. We get about 4 calories for every gram of carbohydrate and protein we consume. In contrast, we get about 9 calories for every gram of fat consumed. These excess calories most commonly come from «foods» made with sugar and flour as they make up about 40% of the total caloric intake of the average American. Excess calories from sugar and flour raise blood levels of glucose, which then gets converted into fat that stored in fat cells.
Another 20% of calories come from refined seed/legume oils made from corn, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed, soy, and peanut. Excess calories from these oils are also stored in fat cells.
Very few people, if any, over-consume protein calories. This means we all need to first eat calories at level that is appropriate to achieve normal weight, and then maintain a caloric level that prevents us from gaining weight. Of interest, is the fact that the overall dietary balance of carbohydrate, protein, and fat does influence body function, known as physiology or body metabolism. It turns out that eating less calories from carbohydrate and more from fat actually helps to improve metabolism.
