Does it really matter if you don't eat well but exercise a lot?
Question:
Answers:
I know what you mean, but my experience says that they are just delaying the consequences.
A good example would be how sore your muscles get after a workout.
If you eat a bunch of sugar, cookies, ice cream etc. your muscles will be more sore than if you eat healthy organic whole foods. A bad diet will make you more prone to muscle aches, clogged arteries, and circulation problems.
Here are some good ideas:
Losing weight:
1.Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
2.Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
3.Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.
4.Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)
5.Stop smoking, drinking beer & wine, and drinking coffee.
6.Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
7.Hang out with people who want to be healthy.
Tone up the muscles:
1.Join a gym and get a trainer.
2.If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching & yoga regimen.
3.Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body.
4.As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike.
5.Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class.
6.Join the local YMCA..
Mental Health:
1.Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.
2.If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to.
3.Learn how to meditate.
4.Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.
5.Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.
6.Start keeping a diary or journal about your feelings & thoughts.
7.Write a ‘gratitude’ list every night.
hummmm nooo they are probably weak and stuff
Yes. Perhaps you would look fit, but unhealthy foods can be harmful to your heart
I have been a gym rat for 4 years, but because I have trouble controlling my eating, I have been yo-yo-ing, but never got closer than 40 pounds within my goal.
Those people you know are lucky. They probably aren't any healthier than you. They may be thin and look fit, but if they eat crap all day I am sure they have high cholesterol and low energy, and probably all kinds of crap clogging their colon.
Yes, it matters a lot.
Eating can determine not only your health but your metabolism. A slim body does not automatically means no fats inside or a healthy body.
I eat well and exercise.
I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs and gain better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs for 2 years.
Details such as my experience, types of foods and veggies to eat, healthy low fat snacks, meals, recipes, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog.
