If you want to lose weight, counting calories will work for some people. But counting calories is not the best way to try to lose weight. Basically if you eat healthy food only you will not be over weight.

My wife has never had a weight problem. She couldn't gain weight to save her life. Then one day her hormones changed and she had to starve herself to not gain weight. She had to stay under 1000 calories a day.

Eating healthy isn't easy. And 90% of the people will say they are when they are really not. For example at one point the highest calorie food you could order from walk on's was a SALAD. So someone eating that and probably drinking a diet coke with it would tell ya, they ate a healthy diet.

Most foods we eat today are highly processed crap. It take a major effort to eat healthy. Stop counting calories and start eating all the healthy.

So if I consume 4000 calories a day if healthy food I'll eventually be thin? This is the worst advice ever. You can easily eat excess calories eating healthy foods.

You nailed it. A lot of folks think they are eating healthy when in reality they are doing anything but.

this ranks as some of the worse advice I've read in all of TD.
