Is it true that you can eat more and lose weight by combining different foods?

No. People say that there are certain foods that take more
calories to burn than they provide or that certain food items are
going to cause more calories to be burned. It is a misconception
and I can fully understand why people think the way they do.

People don’t want to put the time and the energy or the money
into losing weight. It is a lot of work. People want to lose weight
and they know that some of the food they eat is unhealthy and they don’t want to put the time and energy into changing things.

It takes planning and time. Instead of visiting the fast food
restaurant on the corner on the way home you go to the produce
aisle in the grocery store. It might take you a little more time and
cost you a little more money but it’s worth it.

You know the fast food restaurants super size everything. The
artists and executives that design the ads know that our
mentality is that the more food we can get for our buck, the
better we are going to like it. It wasn’t so long ago that you
would go in and order a pop and you would get 8 oz or 12 oz and
now it’s not uncommon to get 24 or 36oz because they super size
everything.
