Exercise

[Riddil]

Exercise is good, but like some people have been saying, it's your diet too. And no, you don't have to live on celery stalks to lose weight.

The first, biggest, and best thing you can do is cut down on the portion sizes. I've travelled quite extensively, and the one thing I can say about the States over anywhere else, our meals are about 1.5 to 2x larger than anywhere else in the world.

Eat the food you love, the food you like... just get into the habit of eating LESS. If you don't consume those calories, you don't need to burn them.

At first it's tough, but after a while you get used to it. And it's HARD to do. If you go to a restraunt, force yourself to only eat 1/2 to 2/3 of the meal, and take the rest home in a take-out bag.

Once you get used to it, the exercise you do willl help you much sooner, much more effectively, and since you're putting less junk in your boddy (fats, etc) you'll feel better for it.

It's a start!
