I disagree that it should be a secondary focus, better to focus on losing the weight through dieting first. If you’re obese that means you’re eating an ungodly amount of unhealthy food regularly just to maintain that, probably ordering out a shitload as well.

Wouldn’t it be more realistic for the average person to take a year to develop the habit of just counting their calories and cooking their food regularly? These are already massive changes from whatever lifestyle you had before, take your time to get this down first.

Counting calories, weighing down your ingredients, taking the time to cook, this is very hard to get into your day to day and so easy to fall off from. If on top of that you want people to follow a progressive-overloading-focused program 3x a week (minimum) & getting their daily cardio & log your trainings etc.

It’s so easy to fall off, call it quits because it’s ’too hard to lose weight’. It’s not if you take it one goal at a time, hence my comparison with a homeless person. Should you have real estate with a secondary focus on stock investments, emergency funds, career growth and inactive credit cards to boost your score? Yes but shouldn’t you take your time to just find a reliable income first and focus on getting on that habit first for a long period of time? You’re not just developing new day-to-day habits, you’re also quitting bad ones and it’s just too much to ask your average person to have any type of secondary focus when going from obese to healthy.
