That's what i have read and believe. You can exercise like a maniac but if you eat like crap, it wont matter.<br /><br />And if you eat wonderfully but dont exercise ever, you wont see at much benefit.<br /><br />Exercise though is great for health benefits not just weight mgmt, as well as emotional stress relief!<br /><br />Glad you read the bulk bin info. Yeah. Scary. Not that their couldnt be icky stuff in prepackaged things and no foods are truly "safe" but i just minimize overt risk by staying outta the bins. To each her own though, totally!<br />xoAverie @ Averie Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647528150210772859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-67609840902672106282010-04-20T18:33:55.495-07:002010-04-20T18:33:55.495-07:00Hey girl - On my tiny netbook I couldn't read ...Hey girl - On my tiny netbook I couldn't read the article... So I can't totally comment on that particular article, but I think that anytime you let your body get used to one workout and one workout only, you'll hit a plateau. I think it's important to add in weight training as well as cross-training. OR, with running, add in HIIT and interval workouts. Again that is all being said without reading that article.Heather (Where's the Beach)http://wheres-the-beach.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-84788285249730934022010-04-20T18:11:34.497-07:002010-04-20T18:11:34.497-07:00Your breakfast is beautiful looking and I LOVE add...Your breakfast is beautiful looking and I LOVE adding flax to my oatmeal.<br /><br />That article makes a good point about fiber!

I think that some people gain weight initially because they put on muscle, or maybe people are more likely to think they can eat large amounts because they think they burned off more than they actually did. This would obviously interfere with weight loss. There's a lot of conflicting info about this though...<br />By the way, your oats look delicious <3Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05106336390357255863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-12661256428352084062010-04-20T13:33:36.743-07:002010-04-20T13:33:36.743-07:00yumm! your bowl of oats looks lovely and oh so dec...yumm! your bowl of oats looks lovely and oh so decadent. i love gojis but barely ever get to indulge in such a treat (they're quite hard to find where i live). thanks for posting the article. i don't necessarily agree with it, but instead believe that a healthy lifestyle in general will produce the best results. as for exercise, i think you have to do what feels best for your body and you enjoy. i do yoga and could care less how many calories i burn from it, if it's making me too hungry, blah, blah, blah. either way, i think this is an interesting article to read and hope people who are struggling because they hate running but feel they "need" to do it, will benefit. <br /><br />have a lovely day! <br />xox <br /><br />p.s. i love that suggest beans and raspberries! love love love <3.Mandieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082550569165255745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-42816328243763108492010-04-20T11:37:19.352-07:002010-04-20T11:37:19.352-07:00Haha people always ask me why I run if I'm so ...Haha people always ask me why I run if I'm so skinny and don't want to lose weight.

All ...To be honest, I have no idea what to believe. All I know is that running makes me feel amazing. I've been running for years and it's never made me gain weight. The weight I HAVE recently gained came after I stopped running and started eating too much junk. I guess I just stated what I believe.. haha. In my opinion, running doesn't make you gain weight, people are probably just eating more because they think they can or they feel a bit hungrier than usual and overdo it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-31580592185068945272010-04-20T09:31:51.748-07:002010-04-20T09:31:51.748-07:00Your oatmeal looks really good, I bet it had a gre...Your oatmeal looks really good, I bet it had a great flavor with all the different toppings.

Yeah, that's dumb<br /><br />Ok, now I have to defend my favorite sport: Running is amazing for your health (cardiovascular fitness, muscle tone, etc.) When you hear people say they gain weight from running, it's probably because either 1) They're new to running and it's causing a huge increase in appetite, therefore they eat a lot more than they need to<br />or...<br />2) They're training for a marathon (which a lot of the weight comes from glycogen, water, muscle...not fat)<br /><br />haha everyone probably already knows that & agrees, I just felt the need to say it! :DDanielle (Coffee Run)http://coffeerun8.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-87449854268966208712010-04-20T06:35:37.261-07:002010-04-20T06:35:37.261-07:00I've never even heard of that magazine before....I've never even heard of that magazine before... but whenever there's a publication that claims to make you lose 50 lbs. in 1 week, I'd say to take whatever is written there with a grain of salt! ;)<br /><br />That said, I've actually heard something similar to this before.
