Exercise? Diet? Both? or None?

Why do you exercise? Why do you go on a diet? or Why don't you even do either of the two?

Back then, I exercise to be fit and achieve society's ideal beach body look. I tried Keto Diet which I practiced not eating rice or any source of carbohydrates but decided to stop it when I discovered that it's used as a treatment for a particular disease. When I've read that carbohydrates are preferred by our bodies as fuel or energy source, I started eating rice and any source of carbs again without proper diet but I try not to overeat. I also jog once a week or once in a month but I tried doing it at least three times a week -- slowly.

Are you familiar with hormonal imbalance? I have it and that means I HAVE TO go on a healthy diet and exercise regularly because if not? It'll go worst like my brain won't produce a healthy share of "happy hormones" which would result to more mood swings, depressive feelings and much more to mention. I also experience this cystic acne -- yup, the bloody, watery, yellowish fluid contents. They're like time bombs that are waiting to pop on my skin, just waiting for their time to damage my skin and scar for a long time. According to a dermatologist, I should try not to be stressed so much and I was like, "what? I can't do that. I have bills to pay."

The bottom line is, people have different reasons why they go on a diet, go on exercise or even don't do either of the two. Majority of people might see exercising and dieting as a bandwagon but they might not know that it is a requirement for other people to live a healthy life or at least to live longer. Some people even see it as a semi-waste of time especially to busy people who prioritize work than fitness which I respect because it's our own life, it depends on us what path we'd like to go.

How about you?

Let me say my opinion about this topic.
Why we diet?Hi beautiful @kheralei ,

I amnot saying I am going to go diet but I think people do diet because they want to have a good posture or to make their weight lighter.
Nowadays in our society especially here in Philippines I think people were pressured to have a sexy body to be accepted by the society. They are trying their best. So thats why they do diet to achieve it.

just my opinion though I hope you appreciate my interaction with you.

Regarding "they want to have a good posture or to make their weight lighter", I totally agree with that too since most of us adults spend our days sitting in our office while arching our backs.

And I agree to the rest of your opinion about this post. Thanks for your response to this post :D I really appreciate it.

Thank you for appreciating my comment :) 👍👍👍
