You don't lose weight in the gym or on the track

[multigraincracker]

You lose weight in the kitchen.

1. They're not mutually exclusive.

For many, both exercise and healthy eating are necessary to lose weight.

2. No it takes both. I fought all my life with weight but never

got it under control until I started going to the gym and biking.

3. Complex issue which is different to each person

But typically:

Better “Kitchen work” can help reduce caloric intake.

Better “gym work” builds muscle tissue which in general burns more calories even while you rest.

It’s a balance that each person needs to discover what ratio works for them.

Kitchen = eating habits
Gym = activity

For me both would work if I get off my arse at some point

4. I excercise daily so I can....eat crap daily

yes indeed

5. True statement.

A similar saying I’ve heard is that a six pack isn’t built in the gym but in the kitchen.

6. In 1975, I went from 254 lbs to

169 lbs without working out, walking or running. I ate nothing but chicken, eggs and cottage cheese.
I would never recommend it now.
