The Key to Weight Loss Is Diet Quality, Not Quantity - Improve the quality of the food you eat

During our few months of shelter in place, we experienced a lot of changes – some better, some not so good. From the sound of things, many people have added a few pounds and they

are now looking to get back to their previous self. If this is you, take heart as there is good news: NO calorie counting here. Lose weight and improve health by doing just one simple thing:

Improve the quality of the food you eat

At VitaClay Chef, we could not agree more! According to an interview with Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, who ran the DIETFITS study, while quality was not a variable for the study it proved very important in the participants success.The study participants were taught to not count calories but instead focus on the quality of the foods they ate and to eat enough so that they were not hungry. This meant as little white flour and sugar as possible; high quality fats and real carbs; moderate protein and lots of veggies. It worked. If you focus on quality whole foods, well-made at home and if you listen to your body – eating until just full – you will naturally (in most cases) consume less calories, damaged fats and sugar; and more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. All of this will support your weight and your health*.
