Eating Healthy
I exercise and exercise and exercise yet still no additional weight loss. What is going on here? I thought the deal was I would sweat off my extra pounds. Apparently, my body did not get the memo. This leaves me in a difficult situation in that I now must think of what else there is I can do to meet my goal. What else can I do in addition to exercising to lose the fat? There must be something out there that will help do the trick.
Eating Healthy. In addition to the exercise, I have read that it is important to maintain a healthy diet or else exercise will not have a major effect. I do not mean starving myself or upchucking what I ate into the toilet. Rather, instead of reaching for and consuming large quantities of fatty, unhealthy foods, I need to eat the “good” kinds of foods. This includes, but is not limited to, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and the like. I do not have to avoid the “bad” foods completely, but I need to eat it in moderation. For example, if I am craving chips or chocolate or cookies, it is okay. I can have a bite of it. I just cannot have multiple bites of it. So, along with the exercise, I am going to modify my current eating habits. I am not going on a diet, but I am going to make healthier choices. I just hope I can avoid the temptations and keep this going.
