When it comes to weight loss, don’t just focus on calories. Just because you’re eating less doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily see the weight come off. “The old adage of ‘calories in, calories out’ isn’t alway correct—especially when it comes to weight loss,” says Elena Villanueva, DC, a functional holistic medicine expert in Austin, Texas. “Many popular foods out there—like gluten, dairy, and sugar—can cause inflammation in the body. And when these foods are consumed in excess year after year, chronic conditions can develop, which in turn, leads to chronic inflammation and excess weight. The quality of your calories matters.”
