Lots of dietary changes. Trying to replace all pasta with vegetables like zucchini. Trying to just eat a lot less. Instead Of a triple cheeseburger when I am super hungry, I’ll jusf settle for a baked sweet potato. Lots of water. Trying not to drink any beer or alcohol or sodas.

The data suggests up to 79 percent of all runners are injured every year,” says Stephen Messier, the director of the J. B. Snow Biomechanics Laboratory at Wake Forest University. “What’s more, those figures have been consistent since the 1970s.” Messier is currently 11 months into a study for the U.S. Army and estimates that 40 percent of his 200 subjects will be hurt within a year. “It’s become a serious public health crisis.

Nothing seems able to check it: not cross-training, not stretching, not $400 custom-molded orthotics, not even softer surfaces. And those special running shoes everyone thinks he needs? In 40 years, no study has ever shown that they do anything to reduce injuries. On the contrary, the U.S. Army’s Public Health Command concluded in a report in 2010, drawing on three large-scale studies of thousands of military personnel, that using shoes tailored to individual foot shapes had “little influence on injuries.”

Dead link from 2011? Plenty of ultramarathoners like me know how to run with proper form and never get injured. But sure, many fat-asses just lace up shitty Nikes and heel-strike their way to bad knees and hips.

A lot of injuries are minor. Everyone who does any athletic activities will get injured sooner or later. I've gotten a ton of sprains, pulled muscles, etc. You get over it like a man. The concept that you become a lazy blob because omg something BAD might happen is exactly what is wrong with modern society.

for weight loss you should focus on diet. stop eating for a week right now. at your weight you could not eat for like a month probably and be fine. one dude didn't eat for a year and was cool. that's how fat you are. your body can survive off itself for ages.
