4 most important things to know about weight loss

11/16/2022

People love to overcomplicate the concept of weight loss, but it’s actually quite simple.

Here are the 4 most important things you need to know about weight loss, in order for you to execute successfully:

Calories in MUST be < Calories Out: I don’t care how “healthy” the food is that you’re eating… if you’re taking in more than you’re expending, you will not lose weight.
Nutrition is a better tool than Exercise: exercise is extremely important, for many reasons…but if you only focus on movement & are reluctant to focus on nutrition, you will not be successful in the long run.
It’s Not a “diet”, It’s a Lifestyle Change: don’t roll your eyes… this is something you must truly accept, if you wish to lose weight and keep it off. You cannot keep doing the same things and uphold the same habits if you wish for the result to be different. You must build a NEW version of you.

Weight Loss is NOT Linear: do not expect to lose ½ lb to 1lb every day, or even every single week… instead of a linear process like sledding down a hill, weight loss is more like going on a ride over rolling hills. There will be dips, spikes, and plateaus in your weight along the journey… do NOT let that stop you… weight loss takes time. Just keep going.

a shocking exercise fact you probably don't know

I’m in the middle of a 4 hour long podcast in which the host and guest are both world-renowned scientists in their respective fields.

If you have a few spare hours and/or care to go down rabbit holes about the science of eating for health, fat loss, and lean muscle, you should definitely check it out HERE.

There’s SO much I want to share about what I’ve heard so far, but for today I’d like to focus on 1 shocking fact about exercise that I bet you didn’t know.

Exercise is a really poor weight loss tool.

HUH?!

Yeeeeeep…. Sorry to burst your bubble on that one.

Now, before you cancel your gym membership and throw away your workout clothes, stick with me here for a minute…

Exercise is also the #1 tool for overall health.

It will improve biomarkers of health [insulin sensitivity, inflammation, etc] even without losing weight.

Of anything you can take to help your overall health, exercise is, by far, the best thing you can do to improve your healthspan and lifespan.

Want to improve your blood pressure? EXERCISE.

Want to improve your cholesterol? EXERCISE.

You get the gist.

Now, back to this crazy notion that exercise is a really poor weight loss tool.

I mean that in the sense that if you said “ok i have to burn 500 calories in my exercise every day, and in 1 week I’ll lose 1lb.” you’d likely be very disappointed with the true outcome vs. what you calculated.

You won’t get that level of weight loss… certainly not consistently over time.

However, exercise is a HUUUUUUGE component and critical piece when looking at people’s ability to keep weight off long term.

Studies have shown that of people who lost weight and kept off for at least 3 years, 70% engaged in regular exercise. And of people who do NOT keep weight off, less than 30% exercise regularly.

So, what’s the bottom line here? 3 important take-aways:

Exercise alone will not work well for weight loss.

Exercise will work tremendously well for overall improved health, even if weight loss does not occur.
Exercise is a key component in a person’s ability to keep weight off long term (> 3 years).

So, go grab your workout gear and get your A$$ moving!!!
