Eat Less and Exercise More 120 Day Fitness Challenge

Set up the habits you need to enjoy the rest of your life in good health. If bad habits have put your health into question you don't need a diet you need a new way of life.

Research shows 95% of people that lose weight on diets gain it (and often more) back within 1-5 years
They gain it back because they don't address the cause of weight gain
Close to 70% of us are obese which is why heart disease is the biggest killer
The only way to lose weight over the long run is to shift your energy balance. You must move more and eat less.

There is only one thing you must do during this challenge, eat less and move more. Each and every day in a sustainable way. Everything below just aims to help.
Starting today remove poor food choices from your diet
Don't snack or eat desert during the week
Cut your portion sizes down so your meals can fit on a small plate
You must learn how much energy (calories) are in each meal and food you're eating, not to count calories for the rest of your life but to educate your self on good and bad good choices
Eat more vegetables, they're filling, highly nutritious but contain few calories
Before each meal drink a large glass of water. It will help prevent overeating and dehydration which many confuse for hunger
Throw out or donate all the poor food choices in your cupboards and fridge. It's easier to resist when its not an option
Eat lean proteins and watch your fat intake
Exercise for 15 minutes a day and increase it weekly so you're exercising 20 minutes in week 2, 25 minutes in week 3
Pick a sport you love (or used to love), experiment with new sports
Find a friend to exercise with
Take the stairs, leave the car at home
If you're moving less that day you must also eat less.
Find new ways to fix boredom, sadness and other bad eating habits
Don't obsess over the scales, you're in this for the long haul. They weight will come off over time.
