One of the common questions Garry Y. Itkin has heard from people he trains with is why they haven’t been losing weight or why they haven’t been losing inches off their bellies. Nine out of ten times, Garry Y. Itkin discovers the problem to be lack of proper nutrition.
A lot people who enter fitness mistakenly believe that they can lose all the weight they want through working out. However, the truth of the matter is exercise is only a small part of weight loss and overall fitness. In fact, exercise may only be around 15 to 20 percent of weight loss. The other 80 to 85 percent can be found with all the things that people eat. Proper nutrition is the biggest factor in hitting and maintaining one’s ideal weight.
While the main frustration of a lot of people is their lack of progress as indicated by the weighing scale, Garry Y. Itkin mentions that a lot of them are to blame for not taking nutrition seriously. They may go on a diet for a few days, but then binge on booze and the wrong kind of food. However, Garry Y. Itkin also notes that even the smallest tweaks to one’s diet can lead to the most amazing transformations.
The keys though, like all things in health and fitness, are to take it seriously and to do it consistently.
