Ep. 54 | Why a Calorie is NOT a Calorie for Weight Loss - Especially on a Plant-Based Diet

Are you worried that if you start plant-based eating, you’ll be packing on more calories and pounds, since plant-based foods like beans, fruits and whole grains all seem to have more calories? After all, a calorie is just a calorie, and it doesn’t matter where it’s from…right?

If you’re wondering these questions, join me in Episode 54 to find out the truth. In this episode, I’ll share 3 key reasons why we can’t treat calories from different foods all the same, and why all calories are not created equal. And that’s especially important when we are talking about plant-based diets. I’ll meet you on the inside!
