I’ve been told that weight loss is the #1 new year’s resolution choice, so. What you put into your body is far more important for weight loss than how much you put in, along with (a lack of) exercise. I’m not going to pretend to know what the best nutrition theories for weight loss are, but there’s plenty of shelves at your local library and Kindle e-deals on self-help diet books, and other information available out there that’s just a Google search away. Just do choose to eat healthier and smarter, not less, this year, and try to fit in 20-30 minutes of continuious uninterrupted body movement (no mashing buttons and joysticks on your PS4 controller doesn’t count) just one time each week.

It took me 35+ years to realize that with diet and exercise, whatever you will STICK WITH is a lot better than going to the extremes. If you want to lose weight, improve the quality of your food and drop your calories modestly, like 200-400 per day. If you do this right, you won’t even feel like you’re going without. Alternatively, you can try keeping calories flat and just changing the composition of what you eat. Taking your carb intake from 40% of calories to 20-30% can often make a big difference. Stop fearing “fat” — learn your fats and eat the good ones to stay full and happy.

For exercise, 30 minutes every day, injury-free and enjoyable, is far better than 60-90 minutes 3 times a week that you absolutely hate. Missing a few days or a week here and there won’t be the end of you.

Unfortunately, the long-term perspective doesn’t sell diets, fitness equipment, or gym memberships, so you don’t hear it as often. It’s just common sense.

A million times yes. I made a decision to evaluate what I eat everyday, maybe I won’t have an extra slice of cake. That much cheese is unnecessary. What if I replace that chocolate with an apple. I lost 24lbs in a controlled manner over a sustained period. I’m now running occasionally to make myself fit to go with the weight loss. Fad diets and quick weight is not a sustainable way if losing weight.

Personal experience says otherwise. Way otherwise. I was knocking on 300 and no amount of healthy eating or exercise did squat for weight loss after years of dedication...quantity restriction (no matter how 'healthy' or 'unhealthy' the input) was all that allowed me to take and keep it off.
