I was reading a study from the University of Texas and on the surface it is pretty depressing. The study followed 100 sedentary, obese people 12 weeks.
Half the people exercised 5 1/2 to 6 hours per week, while the other group continued to not exercise at all. Can you guess how much their body changed after 3 months of hard work?
On average, the exercise group lost 1 pound of fat.
Has that ever happened to you? You feel like you are just killing it in your workouts on a consistent basis, doing all the things you need to do, and then you get discouraged by the measurements?
It is very common, so you are not alone. But here is an absolute truth:
If you do not change your nutrition habits, you will not change your body.
It is as simple as that. Is exercise a habit for you already? Are you still not getting results? Then it is time to get serious about your nutrition.
Start making small changes to your diet each day.
Cook and eat at home more.
Eat more vegetables and less fast food.
When you do go out to eat make better, bad choices. I put this into effect at Golden Corral last week. They have a stir fry bar where the guy cooks it for you fresh. Now let's never speak of that place again.
Take a look at how many empty calories you take in from soft drinks, tea, coffee, junk food,etc... That is a great place to start making changes.
Don't have time for all of this? Then you do not consider nutrition a priority, it is that simple.
We make time for the things we consider important. And if changing your body and improving your health is a priority, then you need to improve how you eat. It doesn't have to happen over night, but you can start making progress today.
Where will you start?
