Food by the Numbers

Sometimes a sudden health kick inspires you. The wheels start turning in your mind, and your motivation level soars. So, now that you have the drive, what are you going to do about it? Do I exercise? Do I diet? Well, yes, but also no. Yes you should definitely exercise, because you should always exercise. As for dieting, well this is where people get confused. In a sense, you are already on a diet, because everyone is on one. You don’t need to go on one; you need to adjust yours. That does not mean dwindle it down to nothing—or any other unhealthy form of cutting calories.
