Stop the Insanity! Take off the blinders!

Reality Check. . . It is all lies!  
Counting calories is like counting your breathes for the day - time consuming and pointless.  Cortisol raises belly fat (or so the infomercial says) and counting calories raises cortisol!  
Follow leaders with a proven track record; Charles Poliqin goes as far as if you count calories; he will not work with you.
A faster gauge is to take a picture of your meal and the snapshot will reveal it is either junk or high quality, neurotransmitter raising, health beneficial food. 

In fact, you would be much smarter to learn about the hormone response from food and start counting the fat pounds you will loose.

P.S.  If you eat an inflammatory food (no matter how few the calories) you will raise your cortisol.  This stressful situation signals the body to be carb resistant or to put it more bluntly: leads to diabetes.

Still not convinced?  Still thinking counting those calories is going to save your waistline?
Practicing counting makes you smarter, counting calories is practicing stupid!

Why the Caloric Approach to weight loss doesn't work: Calories are Stupid

Will fruit make me fat?

 The tough & beautiful Jordan McDonald obviously has very little back fat

This is such a popular question now with Paleo as popular as it is.  The Paleo way of eating frowns upon fruit and using any type of sweeteners and is not fond of carbohydrates in general.
The subscap measurement in the BioSignature method answers this question in short order.  The subscap or the "back fat" measurement is an indicator whether you can tolerate carbs or not.  The general rule is if the back fat is above 10mm - SORRY - carbs are not your friend and they will make you fat.  If you are one of the lucky 10% that have a back fat measurement of 10mm or less you can actually tolerate carbs and stay lean.  
Of course commone sense comes into play here and you still need to make wise carb choices and stay away from too many sweets, refined carbs and grains.

If this is too complicated for you or you don't have access to Jrod to check your back fat try this simple method.

KISS – Keeping It Simple Silly
