Anastaiya, A great reminder for the new year!I completely agree with your focus on health rather than on weight loss per se. Although it is great when eating nutritious food or getting regular exercises causes one to lose a few pounds.

I think that many people don’t realize how much healthier they will be as they age, if they start eating more nutritious food and getting more exercise.

You are absolutely right Amit. It is crucial to be active outside of the gym. Even if you go to the gym two or three times a week you still do not get enough exercise if you lead a 100% sedentary lifestyle the rest of the time. Thank you for your contribution to my article!

Hey Ana,

Some truly simple and profound stuff there. I’d like to throw in one. Get into the habit of exercising without exercising. E.g. I use the stairs at the office, I never use the lifts…that way you don’t even have to think about going to the gym. it’s those little things that make a huge difference.

That’s an interesting association Lana I do not think that health and money have much in common but you are right that when we are concentrating on global goals rather than something shallow and unimportant then we always get much better results.

Great post and very thorough advice as always, Anastasiya. I esoecially agree with all the points in #4. Focusing on being healthy and eating healthy will automatically help us become slim. Just like focusing on creating value will help us make more money. Focusing just on money rarely works. Not sure if it’s a good comparison – health and money, just a first thought that came to my mind when I read your post.

Hi Miche and thank you for stopping by. I am glad that you share the same fod and general health philosophy as I do. I read Lisis’s posts and I also think that our approaches are very similar. The main idea behind weight loss if burning more than you are eating and there is nothing else that can be done (no matter what we might hear on TV or read in different magazines.)
Have the best luck in the new year and keep your life healthy (as you already do, I am sure )!
