That's a common belief.
But reality shows that advising people to change their diets to a strict one and work out more doesn't yield the desired results for 100% of the people (for some of them it's effective).
What I meant is that if you like sugar in your food, don't eliminate it from your menu, reduce it.
If you like carbs, don't be on a low carb diet just because you are convinced its effective.
And it is fine if it convenient for you to skip breakfast, despite the common tip of "don't skip breakfast".
And if you don't like running on a treadmill, don't waste your valuable time sweating in the gym, go out for a long trek on the weekends with your family or play a physical game with your kids.

That is the meaning of adjusting a weight loss regime to your lifestyle
