Some say you can’t outrun your fork, or “weight loss happens in the kitchen.” You can outrun your fork — if you love running (or don’t tend to eat a lot), and as long as you don’t get injured (and knocked out of your routine). And you can definitely out-eat your exercise schedule, as many people do.
There’s no way around it. There is no One Thing you can do to reach a goal, whether it’s fat loss, improving performance, or anything under the sun (or the waves). Healthy habits include sleep, nutrition, and regular exercise, ideally working together to keep your body humming along so you can reach all your other goals.
