While short-term goals are important, long-term sustainability and enjoyable eating practices and physical activity are keys to a sound fitness programme. Dieting involves some form of food restriction that may help you reach the target weight but may not enable you to maintain a healthy body composition. Crash diets too are not a great idea as you end up losing water, essentials nutrients and a lowered BMR (basal metabolic rate). A combination of a good diet combined with exercise can help achieve goals for fitness.
Improve health through a lifelong commitment to healthy lifestyle behaviors rather than focusing on achieving a specific weight.
