But then, say you go on a diet, and it works! That doesn't matter. Why not? Dieting takes the pounds off, but it doesn't alter your metabolism; in other words, you'll gain the pounds right back if you stop dieting. Rollercoasting weight is even worse for you than obesity.
The key is to reduce your intake of high sugar foods, and anything that would qualify as candy. In addition, you have to exercise. It doesn't have to be much; a very little each day is enough. As you get stronger, exercising more will be easier and quicker. And, most importantly, gradually changing your activity rate is effective at changing your metabolism. Your body will gradually process food more efficiently, and turn more of it into energy. And that means less goes into fat. [ exton's advice column | Ask exton A Question ]
