Work out, that way you can still have a burger every once in a while.

What about no workout and lots of cheese burgers?

You can edit your display name on the website and use a fancy text generator to pick a font!

Work out so you could eat whatever you want whenever you want. I consume several muffins (40g) daily, put a shitton of sugar in my tea and coffee. I also happen to love potato chips, which I consume in copious amounts. Still fit as heck.

Well yeah, if you’re burning all the shit you pile up, then it’s not too much of a problem.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

"not too much" is carrying some weight here, because there's more to food than just calories, like sodium and cholesterol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I would think it's still not really healthy to load up on sugar even if you burn all those calories off. Overdoing it on sugar has some negative effects over the long haul and you gotta mix in some healthy foods too. I try and keep intake below 40 grams/day. The less the better.

For some people it's not that easy.

there comes a time, when your body changes from an automatic car, that can shift gear by itself no matter how pounding the road is, to a manual shift gear car, that you have to control yourself. sadly, I'm there, so I took upon myself to take good care of myself for the benefit of my kids, my wife and me. I do cardio every day and I have changed my life for the better. every day is a struggle of will power, but I tell myself that I'm stronger than my weakness. three years and going strong.

I have done the same. Cut sugar drastically, work out almost everyday and try to make myself uncomfortable whilst working out so I am more comfortable under load in the world. Also to prep this olde body for the next decade. Far better overall to start 10-yrs earlier than later.

I have a home gym now, but back when I was trying to solidify my workout habits I had to will myself to workout as I passed the gym on the way home from work. Wanna race home to party? No, go workout. Feeling lackluster? Doesn't matter, workout. That extra push I gave myself back then worked (and felt great) and now I strive to get that workout in and feel bad if I don't.

Everything is ok in moderation, if you don't allow yourself something fatty or sweet every once in awhile, you'll rebound way easier
