There is no rest in the war against overweight

Some people couldn’t put on weight if their life depended on it – ectomorphs.

The rest of us – endomorphs and mesomorphs – just have to look at a piece of cake to gain weight.

When I developed my disability, my weight was 70 lbs over some ideal. They say exercise which is not logical if you can’t walk, run, etc.

Over a period of years I experimented and found that activity level has nothing to do with weight. I could exercise 1,000 to 3,000 calories a day with no weight loss. It does affect muscle mass.

The only way to lose weight was to eat less. Incoming food equals inches around the waist.

One of the problems we have is the high amount of fats and sugars in prepared and packaged foods. Some suggested the Mediterranean diet which is eating hardly any meat, and substitution with healthy veggies and fish cooked in olive oil.

Cutting the fats and sugars and leaving the European diet for Mediterranean helped me lose the 70 lbs. Over 4 years I put half it back on so I’m back on the wagon.

For a mesomorph there is no relaxation.
