Have you ever wondered if the food choices you make will have an actual effect on your weight loss? Can you eat ice cream all day and still lose weight? The answer is surprising.

As long as you are eating below your daily caloric requirements, you will lose weight. If you need 2000 calories to maintain your weight, you could eat 1200 calories of ice cream and lose weight. Is this ideal? No, it would be a bad idea. But, it would still work.

It is all about calories in vs. calories out – as long as you eat less than your body loses, you will lose weight. If you eat ice cream all day, you will have very little energy, you will become very unhealthy, but you will lose weight at the end of the day. If you eat healthy food, though, you will have a lot more energy, you will be healthier, and you will look better in the long run, which is your goal anyways.

In the end, as long as you are eating less than your body needs, you will lose weight. Now, you may not be as healthy if you eat junk food all day and you will not feel as good, but the weight will still come off. The best approach, though, is to transform your lifestyle into a healthy one and embrace healthy food and exercise. You will feel a lot better if you approach your diet this way.
