Diet trumps exercise when it comes to weight loss

January 9th, 2009

Okay, you probably knew this, but a new study says that controlling your diet plays the dominant role over exercise when it comes to weight loss. Exercise is awesome, no doubt, but it amazes me that people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars and hours of their time at the gym, but are reluctant to spend 10 minutes a day using a free service like Heads Up to ensure their diet is in order. Why not just take that one extra baby step? Maybe it is because they haven’t tried Heads Up!

Personally, I’ve lifted since high school and did cardio on and off, but never tracked my diet. Once I started tracking my diet, I saw my body change for the better in a way I’d never seen before in only a couple months. It made such an incredible difference, and had a lot to do with inspiring me to create Heads Up.
