Why Counting Calories Fails

Many people struggle with diets that focus primarily on calorie counting. 

This approach often leads to temporary results followed by frustration and rebound

It’s important to note changing your diet without changing your relationship to food is how you make a lot of motion but little progress.

Counting Calories

Counting calories does three things:

  1. It doesn’t change your relationship with food.
  2. It depends entirely on willpower, which inevitably fades. 
  3. It eventually makes you crazy.

Behavioral-Based Approach

At MyBodyTutor, we take a much more behavioral-based approach. 

When you change your relationship with food, you create lasting change. 

When you learn to recognize hunger cues and understand how meals make you feel during and after eating, that’s powerful.

That’s knowledge you’ll have forever.

Conclusion

Instead of the temporary fix of calorie counting, a behavioral approach equips you with lasting skills to understand your body’s needs and respond wisely—delivering sustainable results for life.
