Body Balance

Why are so many people counting calories these days?.. Isn't it easier to listen to your own body and make alterations to your lifestyle depending on what it tells you? Even concerning vitamins and minerals, there are special logbooks to calculate how much you are consuming. Quite simply, those are a rip-off, because the answer is always the same - not enough. Unless you eat carrots for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, your body will always need more vitamin A simply because it is impossible to keep consuming a sufficient amount at all times. Your body naturally craves the foods that will keep you alive and healthy; and yes, sugars and fats are also essential. The part most people find difficult is finding balance between consumption and cravings. If you would kill for a piece of chocolate right about now, just eat it. Your body will tell you when it's enough, whether it's after the first square or after four. Trust it, it will take care of you.
