Xyngular 90-Day Body Transformation Challenge Commitment #8: I will think quality not calories

I will think quality not calories Let's face it, if we're stuck counting calories or measuring portions of specific foods during our 90-Day Challenge, we're far less likely to keep that up after the 90 days are over. It's time to change how we think about foods.

We need to recognize first and foremost that not all calories are created equal. A 300-calorie candy bar or soda is not the same as a healthy 300-calorie turkey wrap. Your body chemistry works completely differently when you have each of these foods. The sugary candy bar or soda will trigger insulin overload and be sent straight to your fat cells.

The high-protein wrap and other quality foods such as those on Jim Ayres shopping list will be metabolized much more slowly. We'll feel full longer. They will help us maintain our muscle tone. We'll maintain a higher metabolism and have better blood sugar balance. All the best energizing and calming benefits are chemically triggered by real food.

And quality food doesn't have to cost more. What would you save if you could cut down on the signals your brain sends you to "eat more, eat more"? What would you save if you could feel full longer? What would you save if you could resist temptations more easily? What would you save if your clothes fit you the same all the time?

The next time you start thinking about something you crave and how many calories it has, think instead about getting something of much higher quality you're worth it. It will actually cost you less.
