What are you waiting for? Start eating clean and exercising NOW!
Low level physical activity and poor food choices last YEARS. Read this interesting article discussing a 4 week splurge of bad food and how it’s detrimental effects lasted for up to 2 years!!!
Study: A group of Swedish researchers restricted exercise and increase food intake in 18 subjects for 4 weeks.
Results: study group gained more than 12 pounds in the 4 weeks of the study, some of which was lost after the study. BUT even 2 years after the study the subjects had increased fat-mass compared to their starting levels and the controls.
Conclusion: “short period of excessive eating and a lack of exercise can potentially change an individual’s physiology, causing it to be harder to lose and keep off weight. Ernersson summarised, “The change of fat mass was larger than expected when compared to the controls, it suggests that even short-term behavioural changes may have prolonged effects on health.”

“The long term difference in body weight in the intervention and control groups suggests that there is an extended effect on fat mass after a short period of large food consumption and minimal exercise.”
