Ha! I was wondering if saying that would be "going there." Frankly, I don't know how else you respond to that. Many people seeking a way to lose weight are looking for magic pills. There aren't any.
Ooops! Just went there again.
Once upon a time I fully believed things were that simple and was quite the jackass about it. And to some extent, it was that simple. I used to work with the head dietitian of a large hospital to devise weight loss plans. But, we were largely dealing with mostly healthy and able bodied 30 year olds who simply chose to eat ice cream and drink a coke for breakfast, sometimes repeating that four times a day. But, mix in an injured back and the inability to sleep properly, and things get a little more complex. If it were a stupid simple formula that only required dedication I'm pretty sure I would have mastered it by now. But hey, thanks for the bits of wisdom, I'm kicking myself for having never thought of such things before.
I think that if you were training - ice cream and a coke as fuel would have been digested - but not exercising means a sleep disorder -as it keeps you awake -
-plus the prospect of type 2 diabetes -enjoy
