Eat a donut and run
The biggest misconception is that you can eat what you want if you run.
I mean, I am sure you can, but it won’t work so well with weight loss.
*I tried, It didn’t work
So I am going to dive straight into it…
Sue: “Mandy, was running the exercise that got you to lose weight?”
Mandy: “No, it was a healthy diet.”
The running is a by product.
*The running will assist the process but is not the main focus point.
Sue Scenario
Sue wants to get laid
- To do this, she needs a man or a woman, to do the wild monkey dance with
- She uses alcohol to make the process easier.
- Alcohol is a by product
*The alcohol assists the process but is not the main focus point.
You cannot out run a shit diet
> On average I am burning 350 calories per 5 km run. (Everyone is different)
> On average a donut contains 250 calories
> And we all know that once we have one donut, we want more fucken donuts.
You do the math
If you are serious about losing weight, you will focus on eating healthier, and focus less on what exercises are best for weight loss.
Here is the secret……
- If you enjoy skipping, then skip
- If you walking, then walk
- If you enjoy flicking the bean, then flick the bean
- If you enjoy spinning, then spin
I just happen to enjoy running, and when done in hand in hand with a healthy diet, there could possibly be a chance of weight loss.
Find something that you enjoy doing, and do that.
It will make the weight loss process a whole lot easier.
Eat Less. Move more
I think too many people see Dean Karnazes eating a large pizza, and forget the guy is running 100 miles that day, and burning 10,000 calories. And more to the point, when he stops running, he also stops stuffing his cakehole…
You hit the nail on the head here! People just believe what they want to, but I tested the eat what you want theory for them – It didn’t work very well. I gained 5 kgs even though I was running every second day and long on the weekends! (Yes, I ate a lot of donuts and chocolate) 🙂
Running sure did it for me. I managed to wrench my Achilles’ tendon and had to take a break for ten months. Really missed running as the cake I ate didn’t get burned off! Lol
Hahahahaha oh yes, I know the feeling! Up and running yet?
Yes back on it now – thank goodness
That’s great 😁
I lost 30 pounds once eating what I dubbed the junk food diet. It of course caught up to me. I am vegan now and have created my own diet called the Growing Vegan Diet. I write about it on my website on here. I’ve lost 80+ pounds since May 10th, 2018 and almost no longer have diabetes. I got off insulin in 8 days, actually.
amazing
Well said. Running is one of the good exercises. You can achieve your weight loss target with this. But you have to be consistent. There is the equal importance of diet, exercise, willpower in weight loss. Proper healthy diet will stop increasing your weight and start decreasing. Exercise will support your diet and make weight loss faster. But without willpower, you cannot continue it for a longer period and you will stop your activities towards weight loss. So, do whatever you want to do for weight loss but with strong willpower.
Best of luck to all weight loss aspirants.
I stumbled across this post in my WordPress reader and I love your non-apologetic writing style. The message is just as good. In the muscle-building world, we say that 80% of gains happens in the kitchen.
Thanks so much! Oh Yes, the kitchen is most definitely where the magic happens!!
I hope your running journey is still working out for you…it can be a interesting learning experience 🙂
Running is still going great! Currently training for my 2nd marathon! Definitely an interesting experience, filled with loads of different emotions 😉
Love the post…. especially about wanting more donuts. Lol! I need to insert more humor in my posts as I literally LOL’d
Donuts & humor are very very important to me 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!
This!! “You can’t out run a bad diet”… I believe in balance and that life wouldn’t be complete without a good donut (or three) every now and then, but to assume that the form of exercise we are participating in is the end all, be all for our weight loss is sadly mistaken.
Exactly! Donuts are life! hahaha, maybe not, but they are damn good, and so is running.
