IMO. First of all there is no one diet or workout plan that will work for everyone. I have always worked out, ran and hiked and have been very active, however the lbs kept piling on. Three years ago I decided to change my diet and be consistent with the approach. No big cheat days or whatever you call it. I pack my food everyday which includes, greek yogurt, banana, melon, pineapple or oranges. Turkey or ham sandwich with multigrain bread. At night, I eat plenty of clean protein and two vegetables. I do resistance workouts Monday thru Friday and keep a very high pace throughout. Usually doing at least two exercises at a time so that I can keep the pace up. On weekends, I try and stay out of the gym and either trail run or hike. I also try and switch up which gym I go to and change my runs/hikes just to keep things fresh and something to look forward to. After 3 years of this diet and workout, I've lost 64 lbs and have less than 6% body fat. My waist is down to a 32" and my weight (202 lbs) the same as when I was a senior in high school. Cutting carbs and staying on my diet was tough the first 6 months. Today I'm on autopilot. I am 53 and my strength is at an all time high. Three years ago I would not of attempted a pull up. Today I can do 25 or so. If I can do it. Anyone can! If anyone has any questions or if I can help in anyway, please ask.

Working out makes you feel good.
Cutting calories/ changing your diet makes you lose weight.
