Diet vs. Exercise

Comments

There has been a constant debate in the world of health sciences. Which is better… diet or exercise? Both are very crucial to a healthy lifestyle, but which yields best results?

When I am dieting, I focus on the limiting the unnecessary calories that cross my lips. Sometimes I wonder what is and what isn’t healthy. For example, is a piece of whole grand bread healthy? Well some experts would agree that it is, but advocates of the recent low carb trend would say it’s not. How is one to know what is healthy and what isn’t? When in doubt, I go for the low-carb approach.

Of course, I try not to think of dieting in the traditional sense. Simply losing weight fast does little for the body. Instead, I try to learn how to properly eat which leads to a healthier lifestyle, such as choosing to eat healthy snacks.

I realize that I could seriously cut down on their workouts if I could watch those extra calories. I know there are times that I eat way more than I need to. That would allow me to be even more Lazy. I can’t be that Lazy though. Exercise is an extremely important aspect of being healthy. It makes me feel great to get a work out in. I sleep better and look better when I regularly exercise.

In the end, I believe that diet beats exercise. It feels easier for me to eat 200 fewer calories a day than to work off another 200 calories. I just to maintain the mental fortitude to reduce those calories. It sounds like an easy thing to do.
