Complementing hand in hand with exercising is the diet in any workout routine for an individual striving to become healthy and in reaching your true potential body wise. For some people “Dieting” is an ugly word to use and once someone mentions the word “DIET” it accompanies a swift backhand across the face (mainly by the ladies).
This article and the proceeding one will focus on the tying up of all my previous articles related to weight loss and hopefully will give you a much needed push towards the right direction in planning your diet and exercise plans to meet your needs.
Dieting is like marriage with the constant struggles between succumbing to your subconscious part of the brain telling you, “Hey you should eat that pink layered, Jelly filled doughnut, it looks so delicious and one isn’t going to kill you”. Then your rationale part of your brain badgering you like an angry wife telling the man to take out the trash, “Well if you eat this pretty little doughnut I am afraid to say that you either a) Have to run 30mins to burn it off or b) By eating the doughnut it’s going against your plan and then setting the chain of events that follows (eating another doughnut accompanying it with a soda of some type)”. Therefore sacrificing that good work you have been doing in trying to look awesome.
As you can see dieting and sticking with a plan is hard and depending on how you look at it, is just like the ‘Perfect or not so perfect marriage’. However when you find that right Balance between what works, doesn’t work or coping with this lifestyle. It will soon become apparent that in the long run sticking with a proper exercise and diet plan will be beneficial to you mentally and physically.
