Going to document my weight loss

[Meghan Saunders]

Eat smart first, try to fill your plate with more fruits, veggies, lean meats, and whole grains. Cut back on processed junk food, sugary drinks, and snacks that are high in fat. Also, keep an eye on your portion sizes, they can add up quickly!
And get moving: Aim for about 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week, or 75 minutes of something more intense. Plus, throw in some strength training a couple of times a week. Find activities you actually enjoy—whether that’s walking, cycling.

It's all diet. Little to do with exercise.

To gain a few pounds I suggested to my Cardiologist that I was going on the All American Drive-Through, Fast Food Diet. It is guaranteed to Super Size you! She said absolutely not!

Everyone's different and what works for one person won't necessarily work for another. Some combination of dietary changes and exercise generally do the job, but what specific dietary changes and how much exercise depends a lot on you.

Getting access to a nutritionist can be helpful. Keep in mind that you will be running experiments and that not all experiments will be successful. So you need to come into the whole process with a willingness to try new things. Sometimes very small and minor things that don't seem to matter much can make a huge difference.

Also, usually there are strong 80/20 effects around diet and exercise. Usually 80 percent of the damage being done to your body is from 20 percent of what you eat. And it will be easier to get rid of (or at least moderate) that 20 percent than change everything.

Again, be willing to experiment. Take extensive notes of what you eat and when and when you exercise and how much. Weigh yourself once or twice a week, preferably at the same time of day. Track everything so you can learn what works for you and what does not.
