Excercise is more important than diet because it's more sustainable. Find an activity that you enjoy and do it. That's it.

Time for diet and exercise!

^this.
That's great if you have a crap load of free time for these activities.

Not only will it improve your health, but probably also reduce your stress levels. I don't believe people who say they have no free time. If that is true, what's it matter if you are healthy or not? So you can be healthy and not have any time to do anything?
 Week 1 Summary
January 4, 2014 at 9:20 pm
(This post was last modified: January 4, 2014 at 9:24 pm by Aractus.)
Total calories yesterday was 1205. Okay, it's officially the end of week 1 and the beginning of week 2. I know, I know, that technically speaking I started my diet on Monday not Sunday, however Sunday will be the start of the week as far as the diet is concerned, so all that means is that week 1 was short by 1 day - I'd rather than then have Monday as the start of the week.
Energy Drink - Absolutely no energy drinks. Alcohol - None thus far (since 28/12/2013), the rule is subject to change. Bread - I haven't eaten any, but I have had a couple of wheat products (which I'm not intending to avoid - ie extra thin pizza bases, etc). This is only a short trial. Takeaway - none since 29/12/2013; not 100% completely banned however will avoid as much as possible for the moment. Snacking - the rules will be somewhat more relaxed then I originally implied. Over the last week I had one unhealthy snack (on 03/01/2013), largely because I could do so and still keep to target 1200 calories. Also, 7PM is NOT my "final cut off time" although it is still the goal since anything eaten after this hour is unhelpful. Breakfast - sometimes I have a larger breakfast as I did this morning (1x Large bowl of cereal), although usually it's consistent. In order to keep it consistent I'll now be using just one bowl that is the correct size for it. Calories - the number one rule - I am counting them, which I've never done before, and will help me to keep consistent throughout the diet. My goal is around 1200/day and thus far I've adhered near perfectly.

Way more healthy than anything from Subway, it's actually fresh not Subway pretend-fresh, and the flavour melts in your mouth.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK "That's disgusting.

Calories so far today (unhealthy BBQ lunch, I had 1x steak approx 100g and 1x chicken kebab and salad): 1139! I'll be having a very light dinner to bring the total up to around 1349 calories (or so).
Okay, I'm actually going to go and spend an hour doing my workout now - I'll check back in later.

I've written a blog against the Diet Industry:
http://blog.aractus.com/commercial-weigh...-products/ And the fact that many products are designed for profit not for people's benefit. Sensaslim is a more extreme example of course.

Restarted doing martial arts this week after a 6 month layoff with a broken rib. Also switched from San Shou to Jiu jitsu
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken." Sith code 
I'm doing cock push-ups right now.
