Okay, for anyone struggling with the diet part of losing weight, listen up, this is for you.
For me, one of the BIGGEST things that has helped me with sticking to eating clean, was to know how much time and effort it actually takes to burn a certain type of food.
Like lets take an iconic chocolate bar as an example. I'm going to use a Hershey Cookies and Cream bar since that's always been a favorite. One bar, (about 43g) has 220 kals in it. If you were to go for a moderate walk and probably not get too tired from it (at about 3mph on a treadmill if you have one), it would take you almost an hour of continuously walking to burn off that chocolate bar. AN HOUR GUYS. That is a lot of time. Say, you want to RUN it off instead, for a faster time. At about 5mph on a treadmill, it would take you about 22mins to burn that entire bar off. And this is 22mins continuously without any breaks.
This honestly goes the same for all sugary and unhealthy things such as sodas, cake, candies, and fast food. Not saying you need to avoid these all the time. They are fine in moderation. But to eat them continuously will be what's holding you back in this weight loss journey.
Now you might be thinking, "well with that mindset, you'll never want to eat". But that is where this part comes in.
Instead of eating that chocolate bar, again 220 kals, you can have plenty of other things with much higher nutritional value and that will actually fill you up with approximately the same amount of calories. Like maybe a banana with some peanut butter, or some scrambled eggs. There are so many nutritional things you can replace these snacks with that will actually benefit you instead of ruin you.
So in the end, I'm kinda just sharing what's helped me in efforts to help someone else who needs it.
To any experts, (or to whoever wants to), feel free to criticize my mindset on this. :)
