Think you need counting calories to lose weight? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is…calories count, whether you\u2019re counting them or not. Simply counting calories may work in the short-term, it\u2019s amazing what sheer will and determination can accomplish! But, if you want to lose weight and keep it off, you\u2019ll need to build your lifestyle around your goals – and that has nothing to do with calories and everything to do with empowering yourself with knowledge and getting into better habits like you build in the Shapa program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the point of making progress if you can\u2019t keep it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable weight loss occurs as a side effect<\/em> of a healthier way of living, not the opposite way around. In fact, chasing a number on the scale may lead you to eat as little as possible, which makes you less likely to engage in physical activity, grumpier to those around you, and overall leads you to feeling pretty miserable. Inevitably, you wake up one day and decide enough is enough, and resume your former ways of eating. Guess where that leads you before long? Yup, back to square one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get some perspective here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to get off the hamster wheel and look at the bigger picture. At the end of the day, do you walk around with your weight plastered onto your forehead? Nope! You just want to look and feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why are you fixated on a certain number? Because when you think about that weight, you envision yourself healthier, happier, and fitting perfectly into your clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with conventional scales is that they display a number. Based on whether this number is higher or lower than the previous day\u2019s number, you decide if you\u2019re winning at life or failing at it miserably. Never mind all the factors that can cause a heavier scale reading like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
