As each day goes by, I feel my body getting healthier. In just 2 short weeks, the improvements I recognize make me feel happy and mad all at once. Happy that I am finally focused again at regaining my life but mad that I let my body get back to a point where I weighed over 520 pounds.
I always wondered what the percentages were when it comes to losing weight. Was it 50/50 for meal plan and working out or was it more towards the working out or more towards the meal plan. Now after many diets and lifestyle changes in my life. I am confident to say, that is all about the meal plan. I don't care how much you work out, if you eat like crap, your body is still going to be crap. I would even go as high and say is 75% meal plan, and 25% exercise. Thats just my opinion anyways.

Hey Rob...
ReplyDeleteAlthough diet and exercise go hand in hand and you will have greater success if you combine the two, I agree with you that nutrition is the key. In fact my trainer says that 89% of people who lost 30 or more pounds and kept it off for at least one year did it with diet and exercise.Only 10% succeeded using diet alone…Only 1% succeeded using exercise alone...So, if weight loss is one of your primary goals, optimizing your nutrition is key.
I can work out all I want, if I'm feeding my body with crap, the workouts won't matter!! The's will soon be here and GONE as well..stick with it!!! :)
The last sentence should read : The 400's will soon be here and GONE as well... I didn't have my "Num Lock" on ;)
