10 Rules Unfit People Follow

Here are some basic rules that unfit people follow. There are many other rules that I am missing, but here are some of the big ones that is keeping us unfit.

1.) I eat whatever I want. These people do not pay any attention to what they eat. If they want it, then they eat it with absolutely no regard to its nutritional value. They do not believe in moderation.

2.) I do not exercise. These people believe that exercise is meant for someone else. They do not believe in it and will not do it under any circumstances. They feel that exercise is a waste of time.

3.) I can rely on my genetics to keep me in shape. Genetics only plays into effect for a limited time. Even a person with good genetics needs to exercise. Genetics will only carry you so far in terms of your body and the health of your organs.

4.)I can eat at any time. You should really stop eating about 2 to 2 1/2 hours before bed. Your metabolism slows when you sleep and unburned calories will turn into fat.

5.) They follow every fad diet. Fad diets are just that a fad. They come and they go, because they either don't work at all or if they do they are very limited. Most fad diets are very generic in what you can and can not consume. This poses a conflict, because every person is different and no two people can follow the same diet and get the same result.

6.) They lose weight too fast. These people do everything that they can to lose as much weight as they can as fast as they can. Then in return they gain back more than before they started. This is the yo-yo dieter.

7.) They take diet pills from infomercials. These don't work, they are quite dangerous and addictive. Unless you are severely obese and under a physians care you should not be taking any pills from informercials or over the counter.

8.) They compare themselves to others. God made you to be who you are. Psalms 139:14 says, "I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." We are each unique and to want to be someone else is to say that God made a mistake.

9.) They eat one big meal a day. These people eat little to no breakfast, skip lunch, have a small snack and then a enornous dinner. You should eat several small meals through the day and eat breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, moderate dinner.

10.) They eat fast food all of the time. Fast food generally has a bunch of unnecessary and empty calories, high sodium, high cholesterol, and sugar. Eating at home is healthier and cheaper.
