The truth about fitness

At this exact moment I fall into the category of college savant.  I have under my belt 6 solid years of collegiate studies.  These fond, wholesome years have supplied me with an array of experiences:

Credit card debt
A veritable library of books on any subject you can imagine
Females that will never speak to me again
Females that may speak to me again
A volume of drinking games, stories, and fragments of memories that may or may not have happened

But MOST importantly....  At the end of this year, I should have acquired 2 undergrads and 3 minors.  None of which I began college seeking. Nor will I most likely use either one of them.

So if you trust your parents at all when they told you to respect your elders.  Listen up.

As prominent and abundant as exercise and weight loss blogs are... They are a veritable wealth of hopes and dreams as opposed to real facts.  These Cinderella stories of weight loss pills and green tea diets who promise you the world are nothing more then a drug pedaling, possibly anorexic girl who mistook water weight for fat loss.

The sad truth of the matter is there is no wonder diet.  Exercise and eating healthy is the only sure method of weight loss that is scientifically proven to keep the over fed, optimistic American thin and trim.  

Get into the gym, stay away from Wendy's (except for the chicken nuggets.  Fantastic), and stop spending money on weight loss schemes.

I love you all

  1. Ok, I agree with you...but for some people it isn't quite that easy. It can't be given the number of people still looking for a quick and easy way to lose weight.

    Seriously, how are we going to change people's perceptions about weight loss and proper nutrition when there is so much misinformation out there...and when people want to believe in a quick and easy solution?

    Is one other factor the often conflicting "facts" about this stuff...don't eat meat...wait, eating some meat is ok. Don't eat certain kinds of fat...wait a minute, we've got to have "good" fat...and so on?
