Eat to live, don't live to eat.11

Buy a kitchen scale.....seriosuly eye opening for me. My portions were all out of whack before. It feels empowering to know what I am eating and how much.
Make sure that you're following a diet and exercise plan that you can sustain forever...that was my "lightbulb" moment. I realized that fad dieting would never work. I needed to learn healthy habits and moderation so that I could stay on this path forever.4 -

There are really 3 that are tied for the top for me (plus numerous others that would be meaningless without the three).
1. Use a food scale - as much as possible.
2. Create a food plan you can comply with - or you're planning to fail.
3. Lift heavy things and move (in that order).
Those are the three foundations upon which everything else rests. All other tweaks deal with optimization, but optimization is worthless without the basics. The basics will get me 95% there. That's where my focus is. The other 5% is icing on the cake.........Mmmm....cake w/ icing.....oops kinda let my mind wander....

Skipping reined carbs and sugars can equal easier weight loss and better health.
For me it did. Reduced cravings and appetite, and I seem to lose faster than expected.25 -

Ensure you plan out your meals on Sundays (for most people) and plan them out by following a paleo plan. I didn't feel good to get up in morning or do anything until I stuck to a paleo diet. All of the foods outside of this diet cannot be digested by most people and there is a strong link those who eat breads, pastas, cereals, cakes, etc. develop some form of dementia. Best advice and life changing as I don't have brain fog or depression anymore.64

“Do some homework and seek to find an activity you can become passionate about. Throw time and effort and even money into it. Just keep trying to get better. Even let it come to define you as a person so that this new activity becomes a part of who you are. ... Don’t forget to fuel appropriately.”
