Tag: Food quality vs quantity

According to research from Harvard University, the quality of calories can affect how efficiently people burn energy, which is key for both losing weight and keeping it off long-term. This directly challenges the common belief that in a calorie deficit, the only thing that matters is the total number of calories, regardless of their source. The foods you choose profoundly impact your health, hunger levels, and the sustainability of your weight loss journey.

According to the World Health Organization, a healthy diet helps protect against malnutrition and a host of noncommunicable diseases like heart disease and cancer. This evidence highlights the fundamental reason why humans need good quality food to thrive and function optimally, not just survive.
