It's a...The food guide is just that - a guide. It's a suggestion, which we all have to alter in order to make it suit our personal ways of eating.<br /><br />Case in point, its based on a daily intake of something like 1800-2000 calories per day (for women). Most of us do not burn that many calories in a day, so we should not be consuming that number. They also 'suggest' that we get 2 1/2 hours of "moderate to vigorous activity" each week - most of us don't do that either (Shannon is probably the exception!). <br /><br />It doesn't matter what WOE you choose to follow - ultimately, it all comes down to calories in vs. out. You have to use up all the calories you eat, otherwise you gain weight - so either we have to do more exercise or eat less food. Aside from that, its just a matter of where you choose to get your daily requirement of calories - you someone could eat nothing but doughnuts and still lose weight, provided they made sure that they ate fewer calories than they burned. They'd just spend most of the day starving, because those 3 doughnuts wouldn't be very filling.<br /><br />Eat whatever way makes you feel good. Personally, I'm sticking with my peanut butter sandwich.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558275006947231705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638162773847650074.post-81759980134399253882012-09-12T20:41:59.353-07:002012-09-12T20:41:59.353-07:00Our "food guide" is infuriating.
