Diet as if you aren't going to exercise

I always laugh when I hear people who say exercise is terrible for weight loss.

This is because most people have the wrong mindset.

When you workout, simply don't count those calories burned.

Pretend like you didn't exercise.

Forget that it ever happened.

(This is an incredible movie, by the way.)

Find a diet plan that allows you to steadily lose weight.

Add in strategic cardio or other calorie burning exercise to that equation...

You will burn fat at a MUCH more rapid pace, than dieting alone.

What exercise maximizes fat burning?

Exercise is killer for weight loss, if you act "as if" it never happened.

I always wind up consuming a better, lower calorie diet when my exercise habit is dialed in.

I think it is because I don't want to waste my gym efforts.

I figure if I spent all that time in the gym, why would I "undo" that effort by eating poorly?

A recent study came to a similar conclusion:

The influence of 15-week exercise training on dietary patterns among young adults

2,680 young adults were put on an 15 week aerobic exercise program.

They were told not to change their diet but as the study went on... they changed their diet anyway.

Most participants reduced or dropped the fried foods, sodas, and junk foods in favor of lean meats, fruits, and veggies.

I simply think good habits encourage other good habits.

For me...

I eat better when I have a good exercise habit, which leads to me cleaning my house more, which leads to a better work habit, etc.

I think of it as "habit stacking".

If you are having a tough time eating a healthy diet, consider really dialing in your workout.

This combo will lead to incredible changes for the better.

I have found that cardio in particular is one thing that forces me to follow a good diet.

If I am just lifting weights, I will justify that maybe the extra calories will help repair the muscles quicker etc.

Not so with cardio.

If I spend 30 minutes on a cardio machine, it's purely for the calorie burn.

Eating extra calories simply makes me feel like I wasted 30 minutes.

To master using cardio machines for fat loss...
