Comment on Skinny fat founder strips for launch of startup

Comments

I found that for me personally, getting fit is not a problem, it's keeping the weight off is the issue. Sure, the 12 week program looks impressive, and I have no doubt that if closely monitor everything, providing details of every single meal and exact exercise you have to do, anyone with enough willpower can achieve the goal. But what's next?

This is why I eschew any type of program that isn't sustainable. I'd rather be in fairly decent shape all the time by making sound decisions in terms of diet and exercise than be a glistening mound of underwear-worthy male model. Eating clean with a few bodyweight exercises and about 5,000 steps/day sprinkled into the week usually does the trick.

If you exercise regularly and you're still gaining weight, your diet is likely the culprit. Most people have no idea just how horrid their diets are.

Then its finding something you love. I am happy carrying on the slowcarb diet, but its daily cycling that's really got and kept me in shape. I am happier if I've riden to work now, and feel great.
