No doubt you’ve heard the expression, “A calorie is a calorie,” meaning the calories we get from carbs, fat and protein are equal in terms of their effect on our weight.
Perhaps you think all that matters is the total number of calories you take in each day, regardless of whether the majority comes from one macronutrient more than the other.

And on it goes… the egocentric, narcissistic world of Facebook!

Sometimes it’s a story in a book. At other times it’s a statement someone makes in passing.
This happened to me last week.
In fact, it wasn’t even in a book or a blog, I was browsing Pinterest, and one of the pins immediately stood out when I saw it. I suppose it solidified my own thoughts on the matter, and put them in a more succinct, eloquently way.

Many people wanting to get healthy or lose weight automatically turn to specialized diet programs to help them achieve their goals.
Unfortunately, most diet programs these days require that customers purchase specific foods, and enroll in classes or attend meetings.
Depending on the program, these classes and meals can cost anywhere from $70 – $140 per week.
But, rather than spending heaps of money to eat a lot of processed foods, you could save a considerable amount by cooking at home, and focusing on some very basic meals. Click to read more…
