For people seeking weight loss, a healthy diet and exercise are almost always the first prescriptions. When people hear this, some will justify unhealthy eating choices by adding in extra exercise.

What they don’t realize, however, is that eating healthy would give them more energy to exercise in the first place. That oomph, the “dig deep” type of motivation, is often not a product of a person’s grit, but of their diet.

A healthy diet impacts not only the waistline, but overall energy levels, sleep quality, and the “get-up-and-go” that helps us exercise.
