Weight Loss Tip 8 – Think Quality of Calories, Not Number

Hey, yet another person has the same philosophy as yours truly! Just maybe there’s some truth in it.
Let’s face it, counting calories or grams of this and that is impractical. It is not very useful when trying to lose weight because not all calories are created equal. A 300-calorie candy bar is not equivalent to a 300-calorie turkey wrap. Your body responds differently to these foods. The sugary candy bar is likely to feed your fat cells, whereas the high-protein wrap will feed muscle, fostering a chain of events that result in a higher metabolism, preserved lean muscle mass, and blood sugar balance. http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2011/12/30/kathy-smith-laws-lean-living.aspx
