With 30 years of experience being overweight, I’ve finally found a secret that works for me:
Exercise doesn’t work. Controlling your diet is king.*
Did you see the *? It should be much bigger. The statement “(Calories in < Calories out) -> Weightloss” is BS. It’s never worked well for me.
Hundreds of years of poverty and famine has made my body just too good at storing energy reserves as fat. The hypothesized insulin related pathway I believe is the culprit. I said adios to wheat/rice flours, rice, pasta. My diet these days is mostly cruciferous vegetables and beans based. It’s taken some work to be creative, but the bottom line is I no longer have to starve myself, or exercise excessively (I do practice yoga asana lightly) and I am lighter and feel much healthier. No more afternoon crash either.
