Principles of Weight Loss: Eat Fewer Calories Not Less Food (Part 1)
Diet myths. Why doesn't the “eat less” principle help you?

In the West, there is a popular style of food called Flexible Dieting. Its meaning is to comply with the daily calorie intake, while consuming any foods. It was assumed that a person would be able to afford a little sweet or starchy foods.
In fact, people start to eat fast food and chocolate, justifying this by keeping the calorie intake. At the same time, they forget that this rate consists almost entirely of fat and light carbohydrates. It certainly doesn't advance on the path to a healthy and beautiful body.
