Should you STOP counting calories? – BBC
Calories are like reducing food to just a number and forgetting about quality and a lot of the things we were taught about calories and fats are wrong and people who try and count calories really tough to do it well but even if you do your body fights it so that within a few

If you want to change your diet and your life, listen to Tim Spector at Zoe (in this vid) and also Dr Robert Lustig (who is very much on the same page).
I saw this man do a ‘what I eat in a day’ and it seemed a tiny amount of food.
Nonsense. If you actually count your calories properly, taking into account everything you're consuming, you will lose weight. I've personally had two significant weight losses and calorie counting was key.
Shame on the BBC for uploading this. This is terrible information.
No, calories in vs calories out is what decides weight loss 😂. Low cal diets cant involve loads of food though, depending on what you choose to eat. Its about volume.
No. This is simply wrong and goes against everything about what 1 (k)cal actually is. In is more than out -> gain weight. In less than out -> lose weight. Stop all of this shit.
