Lifestyle is King

Posted on January 26, 2009

Quick thought today:

“If you really want to lose weight and keep it off, the best approach is to focus on lifestyle changes and develop an eating plan that’s enjoyable, yet healthy and low in calories. This approach results in weight loss that you can live with — that is, that you can maintain over a long period of time.”

Instead of spending the $30 billion+ a year on weight loss products (in the US), maybe we should focus more on our lifestyles. You might be amazed at what small changes can do.

Blake, This is exactly what we all should do. Most take the easy way out and we end up paying for it with very bad health issues. Changes to diet and exercise is needed for just about everyone to get healthier.

YES, concerning weight loss motivation gets you started, but habit keeps you going! Still, it doesn’t have to be painful. A few small lifestyle changes done consistently is quite effective!
