”This is why I focus on the pathway of leading a healthy lifestyle rather than an ideal body weight
.Focusing on weight or losing weight forces you on a long, very long, pathway that often is lined with potholes, speed bumps and traps, rest stops, and poor visibility. For example, if you are 20lbs too heavy, you are carrying 70,000 extra calories that need to be burned. You burn 2,000 a day - so if you fast and eat nothing, it's going to take you a month or so to lose the weight. Let’s say you have to eat something every day and are able to consume 1,500 calories (2,000 LESS THAN the average American diet), you will lose about ONE POUND PER WEEK
!Tying together a number of previous posts, here is what I believe is the ideal pathway for most of us
And that is it.
Notice I did not even mention exercise at all. If you don’t put it in, you will not have to take it out/off
.Wishes for a great day to all, hugs too
