Exercise is good for fitness to make your muscles stronger, bones stronger and all that. But exercise is a weight loss tool, is overrated by many factors. So let me explain. You have two, three different types of tissue in the body, right? One is you have bones and then you have muscles. Number two and number three is fat. Now, if you want to strengthen your bone and muscle, you can exercise. So these two things put together, they fall into a category, fall into a bucket called fitness. But if you want to work on your fat tissue, that's a lot more complicated. You need to control your diet. You need to find out what kind of nutrients you have. You need to optimize your hormones. You need to do a whole lot of things. For a small subset of people, their hormones will be all right, the nutrients will be all right, everything will be all right. They will have no other problem other than they would have accumulated a little extra weight because they were binging. They can exercise a lot and lose weight.
The Complexities of Weight Management: Beyond the Gym and Diet
Let us say someone's metabolism has slowed down substantially because they had hypothyroidism or they are not having enough iron. Because of that, they are putting on a lot of weight. Exercise is not going to change any of these conditions. There are so many different variables that cannot be altered by going to a gym, jumping up and down. Very often people come sign up with us. They go sign up at the gym. They go and do this. They go and do this. Like these are overactive people. They do multiple things with the idea of getting fantastic results in as short a period of time as possible. Usually one of the two things happen to these people. One is that they go to the gym, they overwork, and then they come back and say, hey, I'm overworking. Whatever diet that you're giving is not sufficient. You got to increase your diet. We increase their diet and then they stop losing weight. They injure themselves, they fall sick. All kind of stuff happens.
A Unique Approach to Weight Management: Redefining Exercise and Prioritizing Body Calibration
Then we decided something, hey, we would rather have the best control of the situation of what these people are doing. During the first three months, we have removed all unnecessary variables. And one of the unnecessary variables that we have concluded is exercise. We told people, don't do any exercise for two and a half, three months' time. Some of them come back and say, hey, every day morning I go for walking. And that's very important for me. It uplifts my mood. Some people say that, I know I've been doing yoga forever. I don't need to do this. We don't have any problem with walking and yoga because we don't consider them to be exercise. They are movement. That is all there is to it, at least in our book. Hait we put it in the exercise category resistance training, hard resistance training. We put it in the exercise category. Anything that you strain yourself, we put in the exercise category. So we tell everybody that for the first two and a half, three months' time, we want to calibrate your body. We want to understand your body very well. We want to understand how much of energy your body needs, what kind of food it can handle, what it cannot handle, and all that.
