Hello from 33,000 feet!

Hey guys, its been a few since I've made a new post (sorry about that) but now as I fly off to Milwaukee for "work"(can I even call it that?!) I have plenty of air time to make a post!!! I have been thinking up some new things to post about and one came to me the other night in conversation with friends! I got asked a question that I kinda knew but not really SO I took it upon myself to research a bit and answer the question with a bit more confidence. The question I was asked was " what's the difference between good calories and bad?!" well to start I know you should eat healthy because the right foods fuel your body! Then came the question about counting calories! "if I'm given a certain amount of calories and I only eat that many does it matter what I eat?!" That one kinda stumped me. Technically you're intaking the Same amount of calories for your body to burn, so can you eat 1500 calories of doughnuts and your body burn it off just like 1500 calories of salad?! WELL OBVIOUSLY NOT was my first conclusion but I didn't have the answer other then some are good for you and others are "empty calories". I Went on a Search for these answers so now I can explain it and not say "well you know... You should eat healthy, it's better for you!". You can eat 1500 calories (please look up your personal calorie intake, it is not the same for everyone and I am just using "1500" as an example number) of crap and 1500 calories of health food and lose weight with both if that's your daily intake that your body naturally burns off. BUT WAIT JUST A MINUTE Before you go down a few dozen doughnuts... These "empty calories" do nothing for you, you can still lose weight BUT by choosing to eat healthy you will lose faster! I read that eating these empty calories will make you retain water, cause hair and skin problems, and lead to health risk (kinda the obvious right?!) Even though you are eating your daily intake you are not giving your body what it needs to keep you at your best! :)
