According to the French newspaper le figaro, this article was published by investigative journalists Cynthia Graber and Nicola Teri on the American Mosaic Science website. Nutritionists and obese people in the United States support this article.

As early as 20 12, Dr. Ludwig published an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, separating calories from weight loss. Maya Baudelaire, a dietitian who specializes in the catering industry and the founder of slimming methods, believes that through science and nutrition, it can be found that since 2009, weight loss has nothing to do with calorie control. 20 13, this concept has become popular in the United States.

Extended data:

It is reported that calories are different from sugar and fat, and are only quantitative values of calories. Compared with the calories contained in food, nutritional quality is more important. For example, a cup of Coca-Cola provides the same amount of water and 8 tablespoons of sugar. And half a banana provides fiber, carbohydrates, potassium, magnesium and high-quality plant protein.

Maya Baudelaire believes that only counting calories is dangerous and flawed, which will lead to eating disorders and, to some extent, anorexia or bulimia. Experts say that when we start counting calories, we lose the pleasure of eating and cut off our eating senses. Real dietotherapy should pay attention to the quality of food and exercise.

People's Daily Online-Research shows that calculating daily calorie intake can't help you lose weight.
