Can eating healthy suffice? Some will say not. But eating healthy as a huge role.

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them," said Albert Einstein.

It's why all of us agree that tips to make the change are always welcome. Below are some I found and want to share with all of you ;

"We treat our cars better than our bodies."

"We’re eating highly processed, high sugar, unhealthy fats, way too much andeating nutrient void yet highly caloric“sub-foods.”
Our bodies don’t even know what these substances are and doesn’t know how tohandle them."

Why not to "Eat whole, real, nutrient dense foods, move your body regularly in a way that you enjoy, get adequate, restorative sleep regularly, lighten up your stress load, connect more with others and get the support you need to get your job done" instead I wonder?

To get there, ask yourself "if you can’t pronounce the ingredients, if you wouldn’t find the ingredients in a cookbook, if your grandmother never cooked with it or if it can last indefinitelyon a shelf somewhere … do you really want that inside you?"

A practical example is "Putting a little bit of fruit in your water.
Take a watermelon, cut it into chunks and freeze it. Put it in your water and as you’re drinking, take a bite every now and again."

Get in fitness, get in better health but get rid of your excess weight and more.

Do Exercise to "build lean muscle, which will increase your metabolism and help positively change the shape of your body" because as seen above "the benefits of exercise extend far beyond weight loss."
Few more are "Sense of accomplishment, joy and mental alertness."
"Better sleep, increased energy and a decreased risk of developing conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease."

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.” ~John F. Kennedy

And yes, "These benefits may be less objectively and aesthetically measurable than visible weight loss, but they are even more significant. " But you can get all of them plus the objectively and esthetically measurable visible weight loss.

Did you asked HOW ?
"Twice per week, make two of your runs interval workouts. This will maximize your calorie burn during your running workouts, as well as your post-exercise calorie burn.
Warm up for 10 minutes and then alternate 15 seconds of fast running with 45 seconds of moderate running for 20 minutes. Cool down for five to 10 minutes. Intervals are intense.
To avoid injuries, don't do intervals morethan twice per week."
