Isn’t A Calorie Just A Calorie?

Isn’t a calorie just a calorie in terms of weight loss?

No! Your food choices will determine whether you are a fat burning machine or a fat storage machine. When you choose sweets and processed foods (candy, desserts, breads, sweetened yogurt, wine, etc.), you trigger your fat storage hormones. Any time you trigger your fat storage hormones, your body is in storage mode until everything that you recently ate is stored. You cannot burn fat when your body is in fat storage mode. So, what you eat just prior to going to bed is going to determine whether you are going to be storing or burning fat all night.
