Or enjoy both and do both in moderation.
BTW, I wouldn't say what you do for exercise is done in moderation. I seen the videos of you lifting and there is nothing "moderate" about it. You frikken kick *kitten* and take names.

I knew I recognized you from somewhere; you're the Bear fan with the Samoa pie. That is so insanely awesome looking. Would you be willing to share the recipe?
Just remember, Packer fans are people too.

I don't understand why the food side has a different focus than the exercise side? I found I like running, so I run. I also found I don't like to skip pizza, hamburgers, ice cream etc. so I eat them, withing my calorie goals. I wouldn't last on a diet of "real food" (whatever that is), so I don't try.
It was a big eye opener for me to realize I didn't need to eat what I call "rabbit food" to lose weight. I could eat more or less (usually less) of what I wanted with a focus on calories and protein and lose weight just fine. Yes, I've added more veggies and less potato chips, but it's not a one or the other option for me.
Great point, @tacklewasher.

Yeah, but you're a filthy eater.......

... Wat.
Where can I find this delight? Did you make it? Can I have the recipe? I have so many questions.
That's just a photo I grabbed off the internet, but yes, I made it. And it's really easy!

Probably coming across "Flexible dieting" when I first started using MFP. That has got me a long way.

Yoga is by far the best way to reduce the fat deposits in your body. No, matter which body part you are targeting at, yoga has something for everyone. Be it your face, shoulders, thighs, arms or hips, you won’t be disappointed. The most amazing thing about yoga is that unlike gym, it doesn’t make you feel exhausted. https://goo.gl/1f7TNe
Yoga is none of those things
Yoga is wonderful: it is helpful for stress, especially when led with a focus on breathe and mindfulness. It is one of the few exercises that incorporates the benefits of flexibility, strength and cardio all together. You can definitely find a style that challenges you physically, which is what I assume is meant by exhausted.
Yoga is not some miracle that will allow you to target specific fat deposits.12 -
Less is more.
If you notice your own results day to day, you're going to fast and bound to come undone.1 -
I heard this once at a seminar about health and nutrition from a sports performance specialist and vegan practitioner (while i was still vegan).... "IF GOD DIDN'T MAKE IT, YOU DON"T NEED IT"
For example -> if it comes in a plastic container, plastic wrapper, a paper box, etc. etc. etc..... then it is most likely extremely processed (with a few exceptions) and you ultimately don't need it. For the most parts all diets promote eating less of processed foods and eating at deficit. The hard part is actually doing it.
Or as he puts it
- Where in nature is a bread tree?
- Where in nature does Coca-Cola run like a river?
- Where in nature can man hunt gummy bears?
My weakness is soft drinks and eating to large portion sizes. But I've been getting better and all my success comes back to the original quote from above.27 -

This location you're describing sounds ideal. A bread tree would be heavenly.
Mmm... "extremely processed" bread...

I'd like to find that Coca Cola river too....as long as it's Diet Coke. Bonus points if the bread trees grow on the shores so I can have a sammich with my Coke.8 -
