Started working out again and only missed one day for the first month, but killed most of my results because of the amount of alcohol I drink and some bad snacking habits. Looking to change all that going into the second month. I'm even thinking of possibly doing a boot-camp thing once a week to help step my game up. Its definitely helped my mood and pushed me into to eating better overall.
People tend to over complicate dieting. Balance like anything is the key. Sugar of any kind is always a bad thing. Drink plenty of water. Stick to food that isn't processed. You'll wanna cook for yourself as much as possible so you know what is going into your body. Natural fats and proteins are the way to go. Protein especially in the morning helps you a lot. Fried eggs and bacon are a lot better for you than some people lead you to believe. Carbs in the morning can be a bad idea though.
Of course you will find info that tells everything I said is wrong, but eating to lose weight tends to lead to you putting that weight back on.
So yeah.
BTW, I think what happens with carbs is your body turn it into sugar or something like that or tricks your body.
