5. There Are Five False Assumptions About Calories

  • Five assumptions underlie "The Calorie Deception"
  1. The 1st  is that you can cut calories by exercising. This calorie deficit diet is often not sustainable, and most will fail at it. While you are likely not to experience any long-term changes. If you cut incoming calories, you will eventually have to cut the calories you burn.
  2. The 2nd fallacy is how your metabolic rate is steady. This false idea comes from the common belief that you regularly burn a certain number of calories. But this belief cannot consider all the variables of metabolism.
