Well this is just one step of being healthy, remember that health is more than just not being sick, but it also is the complete state of being able to grow as a person. There is no point in being physically active no matter how committed you are if you aren’t matching that up with a good diet. One thing I learned in my Kinesiology class so far is that my calorie intake has to match up to my energy use.
If you eat a McDonald’s meal weighing in at about 1000 calories thinking that you can burn it off at the gym later that day. In my experience burning even half of that in 30 minutes is already a task on the bike! Of course I’m not recommending eating at McDonald’s even if you CAN burn off its total amount in calories, you also have to remember that you’re getting most of those calories from fat!
Combining good habits in physical activity and diet will ultimately lead to healthy weight. A balance is required as well; obsession on diet may cause you to miss out on some nutrients. So basic rule of thumb to a completely healthy lifestyle is to have not too much, not too little.
