Move More All Day — Every Day
Not Another Diet — Principle 4
Nothing is more powerful than a steady hum of movement for weight loss.
Here’s a simple breakdown of how I think about diet and exercise as they apply to weight loss:
Diet has the greatest effect on weight. What, and how much you eat is largely responsible for gaining or losing weight. Working out isn’t terribly useful for weight loss but terrific for keeping it off, mood, energy, and general good health.
Science backs me up on this. Feel free to google it, I’ll wait.
Great, you’re back.
I know! It’s mind-blowing considering how often we are fed the message of specific workouts for weight loss. I think of all the nonsense I’ve purchased over the years thinking some amazing workout was going to be the answer to my weight woes.
Fear not, there is one kind of movement that is great for weight loss and maintenance. Moving all day. A steady hum of movement is what you need to lose weight and keep it off, and happens to be a great way to form an exercise routine.
Companies would like you to believe specific workouts are the only way to a healthy weight, but that isn’t the case.
