Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad to hear you’ve had success on your fitness journey. I agree that calorie restriction is a horrible and ultimately unsustainable way to go. Better to learn to nourish your body with all the foods that serve you! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

I got into the best shape of my life at around age 45 doing exactly what you wrote. I would work out 3 days a week to build muscle (not to bulk up but to tone up) and then do cardio 3 days a week. Add a healthy diet + consistency and it happens!! Of course when I was 20 years younger, I simply wouldn’t eat and *bam* I’d drop 5 pounds in a week. Would never do that now! I think one of the biggest myths is having to severely restrict calories and “starve”. That’s incredibly unhealthy in general, and not good for maintaining healthy skin and hair either! Calories count, but the right calories! I recently gained a bit of weight because I dropped my fitness routine and it’s a bit harder to get back into shape as I’m a few years older now, but I’ve been working at it in slow stages and I’m starting to see healthy results now, which inspires me. And now, it’s not only about looking good in my bright red jeans, it’s about strong bones, flexibility, heart-health, etc as I age! Thanks for the post.
