So does it mean we can eat whatever we want?
Both yes and no. We should remember that too much of a good thing is good for nothing. Sometimes you can replace low-calorie products with something tasty and even a little harmful. It will give you some psychological relief, support in sticking to your diet, and help in achieving your desired results.
However, you shouldn’t forget that there are many other important elements in our food in addition to calories. For example, amino acids, healthy fats, and vitamins that help to build up our body and are contained in vegetables and low-calorie food in large amounts.
That is why when often choosing harmful food, we lose these elements. This, in its turn, means that we are not getting healthier even if we are not gaining weight.
