We have all heard it before, you cant out train a bad diet. So essentially this means you can’t go and eat a box of doughnuts covered in icing dipped in cream, work out for an hour a day and then wonder why the scale isn’t moving.
When you think of weight loss what comes to your head first? probably food right, then what else comes to your head?(apart from utter misery) it’ probably exercise/fitness right? so if you think about it in that order then does that not tell you something? Food first and then fitness!
We often get so caught up in the concept of well I have to walk 5km every day to lose weight or i have to go to the gym 6 times a week or i’m never going to lose weight that we often forget that FOOD is actually the most important element of reaching our weight loss goals.
I follow the mind set of 80/20 you know the one, everyone blahs on about it all the time. What it means is it is 80% nutrition and 20% fitness. You can’t expect to see results if you aren’t fueling your body with the right fuel. it would be like putting diesel in a petrol car… it’s not going to get very far and probably eventually blow up.
What i’m getting at here is make sure you have your eating in check before you try and start a new fitness regime. Now i’m not saying that fitness is bad and that there are no benefits to it, but if your main goal is fat loss/ weight loss then you need to get the right fuel first.
