We need to make the choice that exercising and eating real healthy foods is a part of our lifestyle and not a “diet”.If we commit to a diet for an amount of time, we will only go back to making poor choices when we stop the diet. When I was around 17 years old, I drastically reduced the amount of food I was eating. This really reduced the amount of energy I had. I also became flabby skinny from not eating properly. I later learned it was better to consistently eat healthy foods to support a healthy lifestyle.
