Diet is good for weight loss and excerise is good for toning and sculpting your body.

I love the seesaw demo/illustration. Such a great visual that sticks in the mind

If exercise works for you then awesome! I will tell you for me it’s all about intake (diet) not output (exercise). I lost 40lbs by changing my intake; my philosophy is simple; maybe I could eat whatever I want; and offset it with large portions of my day to work it I say no thanks; I’d rather just watch my intake....

Not sure why carb dependency vs fat adapted wasn't part of the discussion. The way the body stores and burns energy is paramount

Exercise consistently 💪 and you will loose weight

As someone that gets nearly every head to turn when I take my shirt off (six
I can tell you people think I must have a great what a JOKE
I eat taco truck burritos, chocolate cake, icecream, chinese food, steak and almost never eat salad (I do have veggie + meat stir-fry like brocolli, bell pepper, carrot)
I'll eat In-N-Out burger but nothing of less quality (no burgerking, no del taco, no jackNthebox yet my overall "diet" people would call unhealthy.... YET doctors tell me I am the most fit person they've ever I can hike 25 miles in a day and eat 3 greasy taco truck burritos and the next morning some girls tell me on my daily jog that I look like some fitness expert or famous sexy actor
Its rediculous how they are in disbelief when I tell them my "diet" of taco-truck burritos and stirfry, cookies I have lean strong muscle in all the right places and almost never turn down any type of food unless it is low quality (like burgerking, mcdonalds, etc.... which is beyond "unhealthy" its simply gross period)

omg this topic. It's simple, diet is the key to fat/weight loss. If you diet without exercise you still look weak and flabby when you lose weight.
If you add exercise (weight training) to it, you will look more muscular when you lose weight. Diet is still the main focus.

LOL...Curls in the squat rack! Hardcore lifters are coming unglued!

You all might be surprised but I think it is 50 50. The importance of exercise for weight loss is highly understated. It does help and it’s helped me in the past. You can’t lose weight without exercise and exercise with its many other benefits also gives u that advantage to eat a little more even when losing weight!
