Diet or Exercise?

The math may be simple — to lose weight, just make sure your calories in are fewer than your calories out — but it gets complicated once you actually start trying to incorporate this principle into your life. If you want to maintain or lose weight, finding the right balance between what you eat and how much you work out is key.

Some people may follow a strict exercise regimen so that they can eat what they want, while others follow a healthy lifestyle all the time. What about you? Which is your focus: eating healthy, exercising regularly, or both?

Healthy Eating Tip

Snacks are an important part of a healthy diet. If you only eat three meals a day, you'll be starving by mealtimes, which most likely will result in overeating. Plus living with hunger pangs is a surefire way to become tired and moody, and you may not end up making it to your next meal before devouring the first unhealthy snack you set your eyes on. So while snacking is healthy, mindlessly snacking all day long isn't good either, since you'll end up consuming tons of extra calories and we all know what that means.
The best way to handle snacking is to set up a snack time (yes, just like when you were in preschool). Plan a morning snack for around 10:30 and an afternoon pick-me-up around 3:00. This way you will eat a little something in between meals without ruining your appetite. You also need to plan what you're going to eat during your snack time. Choose something that contains fiber and protein to fill you up and give you energy.
