Interestingly counting calories , tracking them in a diary may induce stress, thus hindering weight loss. In some studies it's reported dietors who cut calories saw their levels of cortisol, a stress hormone linked to weight gain increase.
And those who kept journals reported feeling stress (resisting temptation can be stressful). Suggestion is to concentrate on excerise plan & food choices & not counting calories.

I did that & sure enough it stress me out. Might as well just do more physical things. I went shopping & walk non-stop for hrs. Not thinking of weight or anything!!!! 1 week later, i lose quite a bit of weight! Just by window shopping!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's what alot of us crew do. We are in a foreign land , we go sight seeing or just shopping (mostly window shopping) ... & that's how we indirectly keep our weight down. Well at least that's what I thought!
Unless it's sales... armed with all the shopping bags, how to walk so much leh...lol....??? Last time we were in Paris, I have to carry your bags!!!!!
