54 | Why a Calorie is NOT a Calorie for Weight Loss - Especially on a Plant-Based Diet

Have you ever heard of the saying that ‘a calorie IS a calorie’ and believed it? Perhaps you’ve tried very calorie-restricted diets in the past for this very reason. You know, the ones that have you count every single calorie eaten during the day and limit you to tiny portion sizes of certain foods. Sure, it works for a season, by reducing your total daily caloric intake, but constant macros and calorie counting becomes exhausting to keep up long-term.   So, is it ALL about the calories, and should we just assume that all calories are equal? Not quite. There’s definitely more to this story and I want to tell you about it. In this episode, I’ll give you 3 reasons why we can’t treat calories from different foods all the same. Curious to find out more? Then tune in. I’ll meet you on the inside!     Related Episodes to Learn More: Ep.43: Are Plant-Based Too High Carb or Those with Diabetes? https://www.plantnourished.com/blog/43-are-plant-based-diets-too-high-carb-for-diabetes   Ep. 40: 3 Key Ways Plant-Based Diets Can Help You Lose Weight https://www.plantnourished.com/blog/3-key-ways-plant-based-diet-help-you-lose-weight     Contact -> [email protected] Learn -> www.plantnourished.com Join -> www.plantnourished.com/ppltcourse Connect with Community -> www.facebook.com/groups/beginnerplantbaseddietsuccess Get Free 15-Minute Strategy Call -> www.plantnourished.com/strategycall Free Resource -> 7 Ways to Test-Drive a Plant-Based Diet  www.plantnourished.com/testdrive     Have a question about plant-based diets that you would like answered on the Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast?
