Weight loss remains the #1 reason people exercise. Sure there are secondary goals that exist including "toning," improving bone density, and increased flexibility, but weight loss will always stand out. In this time of such sedentary lifestyles, it's imperative that nutrition be priority #1. Long story short: to lose weight, you can't JUST exercise. I have potential clients, friends, family members, etc... who consistently say things like "I walk a couple times/week, but just cant find the time to eat right. Translation: "I'm lazy and don't take the time to prepare things when I have free time and would rather watch 4 hours of football on Sundays."
How long does it take to:
- open a container of Greek yogurt and throw in a handful of blueberries
- grille a bison burger
Of course exercise plays a role in weight loss (calorie expenditure), but it takes a combination of both exercise AND nutrition to decrease body fat and increase lean muscle. Don't forget consistent quantity and quality sleep.
