>>>Just cutting calories in can make you feel less able to do things, so you automatically cut back on exercise.

As someone who has dieted by cutting and counting calories. This wasn’t true, I didn’t have the energy for high intensity workouts sure but I did have the energy to walk a mile or two and the result is the same loss of calories as 2 mile run. Walking just takes a bit longer.

The important thing was drinking a lot of water or gassy things to feel full to quiet the urge to snack.

Also Deleting junk food, sodas , and beer completely from my pantry. Having coffee without cream, Replacing them with low calories snacks like carrots, celery, bananas.

I dropped 15 lbs fairly fast.
