I have something called exercise bulimia, which is where you rid of your calories by over-exercising.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.
What you want is to rev up your metabolism so that you are burning fat and calories, not preserving fat and calories.
I burn so many calories when I work out that I don't really count calories or necessarily try and stay away from anything.
The only way you get that fat off is to eat less and exercise more.
You can't get rid of it with exercise alone. You can do the most vigorous exercise and only burn up 300 calories in an hour. If you've got fat on your body, the exercise firms and tones the muscles. But when you use that tape measure, what makes it bigger? It's the fat!
Having - and keeping to - a regular exercise routine is crucial. And forget about those extreme diets - they aren't healthy.
I think by planning an exercise regime, your diet follows to some extent.
I used to be able to slim down just by exercising more, but that's changed.
Excess exercise tends to be counterbalanced by excess hunger, exemplified by the phrase 'working up an appetite.' A few people with extraordinary willpower can resist such hunger day after day, but for the vast majority, weight loss through exercise is a flawed option.
I don't know if those things work, where you do, like, this crash diet or crash starvation. It's just not something I've ever been into.
