Release Body: Too Many Calories
How
many calories do you need? Well, that depends on a lot of things.
Your age, sex, type of work, physical activity, all come into play.
There is no one answer for this type of thing. I have to warn you,
I don't believe the general ideas on how many calories a person
should have. If you have a 2,000 calorie diet, you are starving
yourself. I know that some people live and die by this number, but
I just throw it to the wind. Why don't I pay attention to a number
such as 2,000? Only because it is stupid. Yes, you heard me right,
stupid. How is a person who is very active going to live off of
2,000 calories? I mean, you would end up looking like those dying
skinny kids in the 3rd world countries.
I
think you get the drift though. I think those numbers are put in
place by people who are so focused on health, that they are blinded
by it. I mean, if you have 3,000 calories in one day, it won't kill
you. Though, they might want to make you believe that it will.
I'm
not saying that you should throw all of this stuff to the wind.
That would be foolish. What I am saying is, you should take it with
a grain of salt. There is no reason why you should get bent out
of shape if you go a few hundred or even a thousand over this limit.
I mean, if you are going over by 5,000 then you should be worried.
Some people do need to be concerned with such a thing. For example,
people who are on a diet because of heart problems. You should be
very focused on your diet. Also people with sugar problems would
fall into this category as well.
If
you don't have some sort of health problem, I wouldn't get too bent
out of shape. Though, if you are eating from the drive through lane
every day, then you might have a problem. What am I saying? Use
common sense. Understand where your calories are coming from. If
you are eating 3,500 calories and they are mostly from things that
are good for you, don't go ape shit on yourself. If on the other
hand if it is all from candy and deep fried foods, I would be concerned.
You
should be more concerned about where the calories are coming from.
Ahhh, now I think you see what I mean. If you are eating 1,500 calories
alone of fruits and veggies, that is better than eating that in
fat. Isn't it all the same? Not really. I would say that it isn't
the same. I know that some of you will argue with that. It isn't
the same because the calories are coming from a good source. They
are coming from things that are good for you. The fruits and veggies
will help you out in many ways. They will also help you fight off
cancer and heart disease. This isn't true if you are over eating
on fats and sweets.
What
to do? Well, all I know is what I have stated above. If you are
eating over 2,000 calories and you are eating things that are good
for you, I wouldn't be too concerned. As always, you should talk
to your doctor. That is the best advice I can give you. You should
always talk to him before you go and do something new. You might
have a health condition that will require you to go on a diet that
he tells you to go on.
If
you are healthy, base most of your diet on raw fruits and veggies.
That is where the action is. That is where you will get the most
bang for your calorie. Happy eating.
