Reply To: Exercise and getting back into shape

[Nancy Gamms]

I’m sure you didn’t forget diet but you did not mention it.  I’m not talking about some strict or fad diet but just watching your intake. Don’t eat out, don’t eat processed foods, avoid sodas and other high sugar items, and if you drink cut back on alcohol or eliminate it altogether even if just on weeknights.

Read those packages, not all things are created equally.  There are low fat soups that have 65% of your sodium in one can.  I cut out drinking for a few weeks and dropped 20# last year.  I’ve gained some back since but just watching all of that made things relatively easy.
