When everyone talks about losing weight, it makes you want to start eating healthy food. But when you see how much controversial information there is about it, you just want to give up, and eat candy in order to overcome the stress caused by the failed attempt of becoming perfect.

We at Bright Side seem to have found the blog about healthy food that all of us needed so much.

Graeme Tomlinson is a fitness chef. You can find him on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter under this nickname — The Fitness Chef. Graeme has been a personal coach and nutrition consultant for over 5 years, he is in a perfect physical shape, and he always bases his posts on scientific facts. He believes that anyone can lose weight without a lot of limitations. This sounds really promising. Here are simple and inspiring pictures from Graeme Tomlinson’s Instagram page.

This is why people are confused about weight loss and overall healthy eating. This is horrible information. And for the last time a calorie is not a calorie

What a load of absolute BS.
How to confuse people looking to live a healthy lifestyle.
The Difference between Good Calories and Bad Calories is HUGE.
Good calories are those that provide lean-protein, healthy-fats and complex carbs from fresh whole foods and quality meal replacements and supplements. Bad calories are those that don't provide your body with good nutrition.

This is an awful, awful article. Calories and weight loss are not the only goals of healthy eating. Whole wheat is better than white bread even if they have the same calories. Glycemic load is a thing. Shame on you for even publishing this.

An out an out superb pictorial article.
Very justified and very practical.
To be more precise after doing all sorts of diet or exercise regimes...
I just did this simple thing...
Eat slowly, eat good fibre and less fatty, sleep properly and to adequate required hours. Walk daily.
Lost close to 9 kgs in just 55 days.
And that too when I never quitted eating anything except for few very specific items like deep fried food and food with excessive sugars.

Author of this picture bite is clearly not aware of how food processing affect hormonal balance, satiety and health outcomes. Most slides with their comments are half truths which are hard to dissmiss as lie, but clearly misleading, so it's hard to decode if the intentions of author are not malignant. It's like he tries to push sugar industry agenda, just like coca-cola company advertising: 'drink our sugar and be active, we support health' kind of BS, which also keeps vegan and non-gluten marketed processed junk foods on the market.

It is true that energy balance/calories are most important in weight maintance, but in reality satiety and hormonal balance is at rule of food consumption and nutrient content is primery to metabolic health. Counting 'empty' calories is road to being lean but unhealthy. Stay with real foods, avoid incretins disturbing flour, pro-inflammatory fried and hydrogenated oils and peroxidated heat processed foods deprived from enzymes, vitamins and fiber. Real complex carbs and even starches are ok if consumed with antioxidants from dark leafy greens that protects lipids from oxidation (all blue zones are based on those diets), but if you are already seriously metabolically damaged by western eating pattern, with diagnosed diabetes/carb intolerance, keto might be better option.
