I think it is more important to make a lifestyle change than to just go on a diet, lose the weight and go back to your pre-diet routine.
And to everybody who is on a diet at the moment: Make sure physical activity is part of your weight loss regime. Cutting calories alone is not healthy or productive.
I am one of those people whose weight fluctuates. I always lose weight during the fall and gain it all back in the summer. Don’t know how or why. But I have noticed that if you start with a healthy breakfast, you usually end up making healthy choices throughout the day.
Also, portion control is very important. Most of the time if you are just trying to lose the extra 5 pounds, all you have to do is, eat what you usually eat, just eat a lil less of it.
But nothing will help you lose weight like exercise. If you can run, run everyday. If you’re not a runner like me, power walk. Just strolling down the lane for an hour is not going to get you anywhere. Do an activity that increases your heart rate and makes you sweat.
Very well said, i completely agree with you. And people need to understand that exercise part as well. People wanna do none at all and basically wanna lose weight. Well!! its okay if you are a coal mine worker otherwise you need to do some sort of exercise which elevates your heart as said above by passionate.
