My Weight Loss Breakthrough?it Was 70% Nutrition, 30% Training

Jun 24, 2025

Just wanted to share a bit of my journey in case it helps someone out there feeling stuck.

For the longest time, I believed working out harder was the answer. I was doing both cardio and strength training regularly—HIIT sessions, weightlifting splits, long walks... but the scale didn’t budge much.

What finally clicked for me:
It’s 70% what you eat, 30% how you train.

Once I started applying what I learned from the book The Glucose Revolution (yes, the one about blood sugar control), everything changed.

What I Changed with Nutrition:

• I started eating fiber or protein first at every meal

• I drastically cut down on added sugars and refined carbs

• I drank a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before high-carb meals

• I prioritized slow-digesting, low-glycemic carbs

And the biggest surprise?
My appetite went down naturally. No more fighting cravings or late-night snacking.

My Training Routine (Still Important!):

• Cardio: 3–4x a week (brisk walking, cycling, or intervals)

• Strength training: Full-body or upper/lower splits 2–3x a week

• Active recovery: I walk a lot more now just for fun

The combo finally worked. I feel more in control of my energy, and my workouts feel more effective now that my diet supports recovery.

If anyone’s been struggling with cravings or inconsistent energy—read up on blood sugar management. It made all the difference for me.

Happy to share tips or talk more if you’re in the same boat
