Slow and steady weight loss: you can change your life

Here’s a wonderful story about Frank Kinlan, who went from being morbidly obese to enthuastic fitness — on the back of his bike.

How did he do it?

Slowly and steadily.

BBC NEWS | Health | Confessions of a weight-loss cyclist reports:

“Victoria Taylor, a dietician for the British Heart Foundation (BHF), said Frank’s slow weight loss – sustained over four years – is the best way to lose weight.
‘The combination of diet and exercise is an important one. If you are just trying to do the one it is quite difficult.
‘If you do them together it is a more sensible and the changes are easier to keep up.
‘Obviously being obese or massively overweight has risk factors for heart disease and diabetes and high blood pressure.”

Frank’s an inspiration, and he shows what you can do when you have patience, and start slowing. Everything adds up, whether it’s the food you eat, or the food you don’t eat.

Here’s Frank’s blog. Amazing. :-)
