Dr. Chheda – When you’re trying to lose weight, everybody tells you to move more. There’s this relationship between calories and exercise that seems like a never-ending cycle you can’t break. But we need to have a complete mental reset – a hard reset. Here’s the truth: your weight is mainly controlled by diet. If you want to gain weight or lose weight, it’s diet-related. There are things you need to change in your diet if you want to change your weight. Exercise, on the other hand, controls your strength, your muscles, your endurance, and your tone. That’s what exercise does. Yes, exercise is important, but if we can have a hard reset in our thinking, we’ll realize that to change your weight, you have to change your diet. Running around for an hour, burning off 100 calories, but then eating a 120-calorie bag of Cheetos isn’t going to cut it if you want to change your weight. Whether you want to increase or decrease your weight, it’s diet-related. If you want to change the shape of your body in terms of tone, strength, and endurance, that’s related to exercise. But for weight itself, focus on your diet. Transcriptions from AI and may not be 100% accurate.
