Dieting results in long term changes to hormones and muscle fibers.

305. That's not true.

Being obese is killer on your joints. Hell I tried strength training alone for my knees and it doesn't work. I've lost 40 pounds and my knees feel 90% better. Keep in mind that one pound puts 4 pounds of pressure on your knees.

Furthermore, exercise and food logging aren't a big time commitment. Food logging is certainly eye-opening in that people are often unaware of just how many calories they are consuming. Little things like olive oil can certainly add up.

Not to mention that people tend to overestimate how many calories that they burn during exercise. And eating excess calories will stall or stop weight loss.

And if your health isn't worth a minimal time commitment, then I don't know what to say.

An obese person simply losing and maintaining 10% of his/her body weight will reap a lot of health benefits. That's certainly achievable.

I used to make the same excuses you did. Then I got to the point where I could no longer deny that my weight was a problem. So I decided to do something about it because excuses don't improve your health.
