I know it may seem unrealistic for some, but definitely a combination of both healthy diet and daily exercise is ideal. Even just going for a walk counts! Diet really is the most important though, if you're only able to focus on one. "You can't outrun a bad diet" -unknown

I by far prefer exercise but my unfortunate reality is someday I will have to do both :cry2: . Still coming to terms with that reality.

I would love dieting and exercising. With my surgeries over the years and being bed bound from recovering from surgeries. Its hard to find that drive. Can anyone help me to find great foods that can keep me full and energetic at the same time.

Definitely both diet and exercise play important roles. Exercise for fitness. Diet for weight control. Both work together to ensure your overall health.

These days people have become so busy that they don't pay much attention towards their health. They are getting fat as a result. Some people do extreme diet to lose weight and sone opt for heavy exercises. According to me there should be a balance of both diet and exercise.
What do you think about this?
I definitely agree with you. There does need to be a combination.
Eating clean all the time can drive me crazy and exercising excessively can drive me crazy too.
In combination, results would be effective and the journey would be enjoyable.

Honestly... None. I like to eat my junks and I also love to deceive myself with the usual "exercise isn't my thing" (just because I'm lazy). But this is real life hey😁. I think for the sake of health, I try to do both from time to time. Balance is however,the ultimate.

A mixture of both for sure.

Both can be difficult to do, but I agree with an earlier poster when they said that a weekly planner for dieting (and exercise, too!) can do wonders for controlling what you do.

I prefer dieting as it is much more easier, but exercise definitely feels way more rewarding at the end.

I enjoy exercising but only when the weather is nice. Since I live in NorthEastern PA where it is cold 75% of the year, I do carb cycling on the days I can't get my exercise in. It really helps keep the weight off!

I hate dieting, and I have a really sweet tooth. I do love working out, especially running, and when I run I automatically crave healthy foods and can satisfy my sweet tooth with just a small piece of chocolate.

Dieting and exercising work together to provide a perfect body. But I prefer dieting cause, I might not be free to exercise every time and might be out of strength but dieting helps balance your body, if you exercise without getting a good balance diet, you won't get the kind of body you need. Infact both works tremendously.

I hate the idea of both, but if I had to choose one, I'd probably go with exercise. I could at least put in my headphones and tune out the world while I feel like my body is being destroyed.

Exercise!! I cannot follow diets at all. My taste buds won’t cooperate. I am okay to run on a treadmill all day but cannot compromise on food..
