"I shouldn't eat this, but I'll make up for it with a little more cardio tomorrow..."
What's the ratio between nutrition and exercise in terms of weight loss benefit? What you eat (or don't eat) may be roughly 75% of the equation. Cardiovascular and exercise? Only 25%. It's unlikely that we can ever burn enough calories to offset poor nutritional choices.
Consider that 45 minutes of cardiovascular work burns only 600-700 calories. How quickly can we eat 600-700 calories? In ten minutes?
Since weight loss is a game of burning more calories than we consume, let's begin to take small steps toward limiting our daily caloric intake while maintaining 45 minutes of cardiovascular activity.
