Calorie tracking is a horrible idea for weight loss.
Let’s cut to the chase, I think this is an opening ‘hook’, an exaggerated line that grabs your attention.
Because, calorie tracking isn’t “horrible for weight loss”, if anything, it’s literally the thing that calorie tracking is probably good for.
BUT, I think the arguments in the video are very valid, so let’s put aside the clickbait title and talk about them anyway.
Remember, everything has pros and cons. It’s ok to acknowledge that calorie tracking can benefit some people but simultaneously acknowledge that 1) it’s probably a terrible idea for some of you 2) it can go too far.
P.S. My new book ‘Everything Fat Loss’ is currently on sale at Amazon with an additional 10% and 22% discount in the .com and .co.uk markets. Feel free to grab it from this link before the price goes up.
