[QUOTE="qe5rt, post: 1012126, member: 234442"] Though you're correct that dieting is much more than making sure you have a calorie deficit i've found that most people who start micro managing their diet and/or exercise regime tend to fail. Overcomplicating a diet seems like a major pitfall and is just a mentally exhausting way to do it. Therefore the best place to start is with the general rule of thumb burn more calories than you eat. Personally though i also believe that most diets are a waste of time. When decreasing food consumption you often decrease nutrient consumption and sooner or later you'll start having cravings for food. For this reason i've found that generally eating healthy is a more effective way of decreasing weight though while slower more sustainable in the long run. As you get enough micro nutrients to offset the general feeling of fatigue. You can even find that eating less calories than required to maintain your weight but having plenty micronutrients has you more energetic than eating more calories than required out of junk food. As for exercising generally speaking the highers the intensity (that'll mean higher heart rate in this case) the more effective per minute of exercising. Though any form of exercise is better than none. To summarize, don't overcomplicate diet or exercising if it works it works, if not revisit and try again. [/QUOTE]
