...Because telling people to do 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercise before breakfast every day, hit the gym a few times a week, and reduce they’re caloric intake just doesn’t seem to work.
For some people, it actually doesn’t work, believe it or don’t.
Human metabolism and endocrinology are very complicated issues, and they are not broad-brush topics.
Spoken like a truly blessed person with high metabolism. I began in earnest trying to lose weight 4 years ago. I cut out milk, mayonaisse, fried food, never eat chips, and ice cream.....just things I didn’t need. I have walked 4 miles a day, 4 days a week, and lift weights for an hour the other three days. I work in construction. The number of pounds lost......0. I am not morbidly obese, but dang close according to the BMI. Some people just are blessed, others truly cannot help it. Twenty years ago, I could lose 3 pounds a week with ease, and would do so every spring when softball practice started up. I would get up to around 190 in the winter, then slim down to 165 in the summer. Now I can hardly stay at 200 pounds. Age and quitting smoking has a lot to do with it. Personally, I think the trend of more people being obese, has a lot to do with the cessation of smoking.
