Eliminating starches & added sugar is what made it all happen for me.

I've exercised regularly since the fifth grade - twice as often & for over twice as long as I do today, I might add (i.e., 20 min. walking 3x/week, & I also incorporate strength training w/ light weights 2-3x/week). But I was never able to lose my excess weight until I got my diet in order - that was what made all the difference for me.

However, cardio continues to be excellent for my heart health, building muscle & bone density, and is a great stress reliever. I wouldn't be without it.
