U Can Be Healthy: Diet and Nutrition: The Deciding Factor in Weight Loss

    I feel that most people are unwilling to look at their diet habits as the reason they are overweight and spend too much time thinking it has to be some new fitness gadget

    Just started the 2009 National Body Challenge that Discovery Health kicked off for the new year. Some great tips and insight how to start your new year on the right track! I've also been watching a week long event on Discovery Health where 6 challengers will compete to replace old habits with healthy alternatives!

    A good diet, good nutrition and good lifestyle have always been important. What triggers a good diet is if its good for the person reading it. If it triggers an inner reaction - it gets approved!

    These findings match my personal experience. I had always been a few pounds overweight -- 5"3' and ranging between 130 and 145lbs. No matter how much I exercised, I never seemed to get those last few pounds off. In part, because I'd get hungrier when I bumped up my exercise regime. At 5'3", I only have about 2000 baseline cal to work with in a day, and I only burn about 100 cal/mi when running -- so eating just a few extra snacks/day easily puts me in positive calorie gain unless I'm putting in hours at the gym or running long distance.

    Finally when I was about to turn 30, I went to a weight loss doc and they put me on a pretty restrictive diet for about 11 weeks. My weight plummeted 18lbs, but the diet was so low cal I put all exercise on hold for the duration of the diet because my energy was low. This isn't something that 99.9% of health and nutrition experts would recommend... but here's the rub: once I lost the weight, I was 10x more motivated to exercise because I felt so great. I started running long distance -- working up to marathons -- instead of just 3-4 mi/wk, amazed at the difference dropping that weight made to my speed and endurance. Yes, my weight did bounce back up a little, leveling out around 117lbs and I have stayed there 3 years. I feel great, and on average I exercise *much* more than I did when I was lugging around 10-15 extra lbs.

    It seems really taboo to say this: that sometimes it's worth putting exercise on hold to drop weight and then pick it back up when you're at your goal weight. Is my experience an outlier? Or is there a reality here that we should just finally acknowledge -- that for women with a moderate amount of weight to lose, exercise is probably not the key?

    Excellent insight! I agree with your point on muscle mass and fat mass. I lost a couple of inches here and there but still managed to weigh close to my original weight. My trainer explained to me its all about muscle mass and weighing more than fat mass.

    I find to be successful in health and weight loss it starts with sleep than diet and then fitness is a distant third

    It's all about maintaining a calorie deficit on a day to day basis. Smart dieting is always important, but exercise is just a big of a factor in the equation. A lot of professional athletes are on the kind of diet that would make people with office jobs and 9 to 5's obese pretty quick. The only difference is how fast they're able to burn it all back off.

    Good weight loss need only be one, perhaps two, pounds per week. Crash diets often crash right back, with weight gained back almost as quickly as it was shed. Take your time. A pound lost each week is 50 pounds a year (with a two week vacation allowed for!)
