<p>In this revolutionary weight-loss program informed by more than 1,200 scientific studies, fitness and diet expert Jonathan Bailor offers concrete evidence that the calorie-counting model of weight loss doesn’t work. In fact, cutting-edge science supports a radically different approach to weight loss and health, proving that by focusing on food and exercise <em>quality</em>—rather than calorie <em>quantity—</em>you can burn fat and boost health more easily and enjoyably that you ever thought possible.</p><p>The human body does not recognize all calories as equal. Some foods are used to repair tissue, boost brain power, and fuel our metabolism—while others are stored as fat. In <em>The Calorie Myth</em>, Bailor shows us how eating <em>more</em> of the right kinds of foods and exercising <em>less</em>, but at a higher intensity, is the true formula for burning fat. </p><p>Why? Because eating high-quality foods—like whole plants and nutritious proteins—balances the hormones that regulate our metabolism. When we eat these foods, our bodies naturally maintain a healthy weight. But when we eat sugar, starches, processed fats, and other poor quality foods, the body’s regulatory system becomes "clogged" and prevents us from burning extra calories. Translation: Those extra 10 pounds aren't the result of eating too much . . . they're the result from eating the wrong foods.</p><p>In <em>The Calorie Myth</em>, Bailor offers clear, comprehensive guidance on what to eat and why, providing an eating plan, recipes, and a simple yet effective exercise regimen based on the principles of high intensity interval training. Losing weight doesn't have to mean going hungry or spending hours at the gym. <em>The Calorie Myth</em> offers a radical new model for weight loss and long-term health. </p>
