What to Do When More Exercise and Stricter Dieting Don’t Work (3 of 3)

So What Is the Alternative To The “More is Better” Approach?

The key to combatting a lack of results that is healthier than extremes and obsession is to find what is called your Optimal Effective Dose. This consists of the range between your Minimal Effective Dose and your Maximum Effective Dose. This is essentially the least and most exertion it takes for you to achieve the desired effect. Minimal Effective Dose is a good mark for those who are wanting to moderately change their lifestyle, and need to incorporate exercise into a busy, regular life schedule. Unless you are a professional athlete or trainer, you should not be shooting for a Maximum Effective Dose. This range is more taxing and takes time to recover from, which is why professional athletes who dedicate most of their time to fitness can handle this range.

Benefits of Finding Your Optimal Effective Dose

Finding your Optimal Effective Dose can make exercise a much more pleasurable experience. Through this method, you can adequately nourish yourself and keep your body in a range that ensures your health and wellness. You can also avoid burnout and limit the amount of exercise-related stress and trauma you put on your body.
