I am frequently asked to write about my experiences in the area of weight loss and fitness, so I am going to give it a try.
Peoplefrequently ask me for my secret.What was the secret to reducing from a weight of 239 pounds to 139 pounds in a year and a half. The secret is simple: diet and exercise. Eat less and exercise more.
A commonly held belief is that ``diets don`t work, in the long term`` Like many ``truths`, this is both correct and incorrect. It depends on how you define the term ``diet`
If by diet you mean a temporary change in eating habits to achieve a weight loss goal, then such a thing will not be effective long term. An example might be chocolate. One might resolve to give up chocolate for a month to lose weight This may or may not be effective, but as soon one resumes eating chocolate, the weight will reappear.
On the other hand, if you take the concept of diet to mean `perrmanent changes to the way one eats``, then the results of such changes can be expected to be long term.
Next: The link between diet and exercise
totally agree! same happened to me, in a way,, although i had the good lifestyle diet and excersize my entire life, was going to the gym 5 days a week,, and still overweight, from a variety of mid life reasons, after being a normal weight and very fit my entire life,,, a switch to gluten free did it for me, and eating less and very healthfully, basically plant based vegan diet, without the sugar and gluten,,,, change up of my regular excersize to something completely different and hard core and that did it for me, like a new person!!
