All Calories are not created equal. Don’t believe me. You need to check this out from health and fitness guru, Jon Benson. Want to lose weight and stay fit? Pass it on. dmc

Guess what?
A calorie is NOT a calorie.
Despite all the “experts” you’ve heard say
how weight-loss is “all about calories-in
and calories-out”, it’s just plain nonsense.
What if you fed a group of monkeys identical
calories, with the only exception being the
type of calorie consumed?
Would they all gain weight at the same rate?
Apparently not. Why?
>>> Not All Calories Are Created Equal
At the Obesity and Diabetes Research
Center at the University of Maryland, this
exact experiment was conducted.
Some of the monkeys grew heavier with an
identical diet as their thinner counterparts.
The difference was the simple carbohydrate
to protein and fat ratio. The same calories from
simple sugars caused more weight-gain than
the same calories from proteins and fats.
Monkeys are not the only ones. We humans
react the same.
A recent study directed by Penelope Greene
of the Harvard School of Public Health found
that people eating an extra 300 calories a day
on a very low-carb regimen lost just as much
during a 12-week study as those on a standard
low-fat diet.
Over the course of the study, they consumed an
extra 25,000 calories. That should have added
up to about seven pounds.
But for some reason, it did not.
“There does indeed seem to be something
about a low-carb diet that says you can eat more
calories and lose a similar amount of weight,”
Greene said.
The bottom line is simply this: a calorie of
“this” does not equal a calorie of “that”.
This is one of the many reasons I’m not too
keen on calorie-counting. I don’t want to weigh
all my food all the time and count calories
every day…and I don’t.
I eat a very simple diet — lower in carbs and
higher in protein and fat. That works for me.
It may not work for you, but I promise ONE
of the nutrition plans in my book will –
Fit Over 40 <<click here
>>> Why make this promise?
Because there are 53 different role models
profiled. All different ages, both men and
women, with different bodytypes and
nutrition plans.
Meat-eaters. Vegans. Vegetarians. And
everything in-between.
You see, there is no “one” perfect diet–
but there is an ideal way to eat for
you and your body.
That’s what I want to help you discover.
One universal truth is the caloire lie.
Do not buy into the calories-in/calories-out
method of weight-loss. You’ll drive yourself
batty counting numbers all day long.
Once you begin to exercise and consume
whole, nutritious, tasty foods, you will rarely
need to “count” anything.
I tally up things here and there just to see
where I’m at. But just to give you a real-life
example: I have not counted a day’s worth
of calories in over a year.
And I’m under 10% bodyfat.
What’s more, I used to be obese. So if I
can do it, you can too.
See what I mean here –
Sincerely,

P.S. I know you don’t really believe that
you could eat 2,000 calories of sugar and
see the same fatburning benefit as you
would eating 2,000 calories of whole foods.
But that’s what a lot of “experts” want you
to believe when you get right down to it.
Calories-in/calories-out is OUT.
It’s a lie.
I want you to see, believe, and live the
truth –
