Calories In v Calories Out The great dietary truth that just won’t go away..

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 05/20/2017

The ReDiet is agnostic. The ReDiet does not care what you eat. The diets that we

all know make their various recommendations, but in the end, underneath that list

of approved foods du jour, it’s always about the calories. There’s no escape. What

is missing from most diet plans? Time. We are an impatient lot, and we tend to

gravitate toward the easy promise – the instant fix. This time for sure.

It’s the Overnight Diet! Just take one teaspoon at bedtime. Wake up tomorrow

morning, twenty pounds lighter. ( The difficult part? Swallowing the teaspoon. )

Here is the weighty truth in a simple

Excel table. It illustrates the fact that

those pesky ten pounds sneak back in

over time. The daily In/Out difference

was only 100 calories on average. No egregious dietary crimes were committed.

So, what’s the fix? Be patient and put

time on your side. Find 200 calories in

your daily intake that you could live

without. Giving up just a little each

day sounds achievable, but there are those days when…

An additional approach is to have a

fasting day. Just-one-day. Monday?

This table illustrates that if you can

fast for one day a week, and trim that

100 extra calories from the other six days, you will lose about eight pounds a year.

The numbers don’t lie. It took time to gain that

extra weight. Only time can help you take it off.

Somewhere between the ‘daily -200’ and a fasting

day is a plan (a habit?) that you could live with.

Let time and patience be your new best friends.
