Run Your Butt Off (RYBO)
Run Your Butt Off!, from the editors of Runner's World, can take you though the process or running for weight loss step by step. Hopefully my local library will purchase this and I can check it out.
RYBO is based on the understanding that in weight loss, there are no silver bullets. Losing weight requires work. If it weren't so challenging, America wouldn't be confronting the weight problem it faces today. It's best to be honest about that.
While losing weight may require some effort, the math behind it is pretty easy. In order to shed pounds, you need to burn more calories—or take in fewer calories—than your body uses in a day. Your goal is to create a calorie deficit.
There are three ways to go about creating this deficit:
1. You can eat less.
2. You can exercise more.
3. You can do both at the same time: Eat less and exercise more.
RYBO is focused on weight-loss strategy number three: Eat less while you exercise more. So basically I am doing half the formula, exercising more......now I just need to eat less. GRRRR I'm hungry more because of all this exercise.
