HBO Weight of the Nation Clip 7: Are All Calories Created Equal?



It is great to be aware of the calorie-content of your food, but don't make calories your primary focus in weight loss.  While portion control is important (KNOW YOUR SERVING SIZES), your focus should be on fueling your body with the things that it NEEDS to function.  Skip the saturated fats; stick with the unsaturated guys.  Try to get enough protein, and always, always, always eat lots of vegetables and fruits!!
