Summary
When most people decide to get more serious about taking care of their body the first place they often look is what they are eating and what they can take out, eat less of, track, etc. The truth is we've been conditioned to start with a “diet”. We even hear people putting off the other major health endeavor, exercise, in favor of a diet. First I need to lose X amount of pounds and then I’ll start going to the gym.
Here’s our case for why that is ASS backwards, you should actually start any health journey with exercise.
Topics Discussed in Today’s Episode:
● Offering a counterview to diet culture
● The difficulty of speaking up when a different view is common
● Daily habits you can’t go without
● Getting movement in
● Making positive changes for the new year
● Why losing weight doesn’t come before exercising
● The brain prefers to add rather than subtract
● Why people are expected to suffer when changing to a healthier lifestyle
● Viewing food differently because of exercise
● Why science should be used to find the best way to improve fitness the same way it’s used to solve other problems
● Benefits of adding movement to your life beyond weight
● What you miss out on when fat loss is your only goal
