Another Fad Gone Bad

So they're probably broke forever.

Nothing replaces a balanced diet and exercise. More columns say that a balanced diet and exercise will help you lose weight than any other column spouting the Adkins diet or South Beach or whatever lame claim it might say. Just read Men's Health, Shape Magazine, or any other credible publication, and you will see that the low-carb thing was only another craze. It was just a very large craze.

Correct diet and exercise is a practice, just like any fad diet, that no ordinary American can stick to. If one were to only eat what the body is designed to process, and exercise daily, they'd look better than I do. I only wish I had the motivation to run every day, or just the time.

That's another problem with Americans. We don't provide ourselves the time to enhance our physical states. We go to work and worry about that so much that it's already 5:00, and then we go home to our families who need us and blame our "not working out" on everything else. What we need to do is go to bed at a decent hour (this is hypocritical, but it's my blog) and get up in time to work out. Need help? Form a pact with your neighbor. He's probably fat, too.

My studies show that one will be more productive and focused during the day after a grueling workout and a shower every morning. "Get the blood flowing" is pretty accurate. It got me through school, and a good bike ride made the next day very easy. I felt so much better; the "I feel old" went out of me. I encourage you to do the same.

Don't stay fat.
