I’ve recently started a diet change supervised by a nutritionist. I was prohibited from doing any exercise that raises heart rate, including all cardio. I was advised to do slow and controlled weightlifting which I do maybe 5-10 minutes 3 times a week. My activity levels compared to period before new diet are dramatically decreased. I sit more, workout less, the weight is coming off and it feels like some sort of cheat code. All my vitals improved by at least 20%. Blood pressure, cholesterol levels, plus a six pack for essentially nothing.
Here’s my weight logged daily

The entire experience made me feel like the fitness industry is bordering on fraud with the promises.
The other thing is that the doctors are not believing this is done with diet alone and in a span of just a few weeks. As part of this experience I learned that most doctors don’t take nutrition classes in college, at the level of depth required to address problems with food. It made me believe diverting patients to nutrition specialists should be often a first step instead of drugging people up.
Take it for what you want but this has been my experience so far. Change diet, workout less. The big deal is that I never knew how to eat properly. It sounds so strange coming out of my mouth even to me right now. I had zero clue how to eat because nobody taught me and I had no habits. I knew the theory but had zero clue how to apply it in practice.
