Is this placebo or is it all in my head?

[Anonymous]

I’m a fat guy and for about 6 weeks, i’ve been working out with a personal trainer and eating extremely healthy. I finished my workout today and i’ve been feeling really good, happy inside the head and have a little more energy to do some chores. 6 weeks ago i wasn’t feeling like this so im trying to feel out if this is like a placebo effect or is this how your supposed to feel when u workout.

No, it is not a placebo effect. Whenever we exercise our body releases endorphins which are chemicals that make us feel good. Eating healthy can also have that impact, but I am the type of person who exercises a lot, yet consumes junk food. I have noticed that it happens though with food as well on rare cases that I eat healthy.

Even if it is, would that detract from how you feel or the progress you’ve made? Placebos work, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. You’d be amazed just how much believing something is true makes it work in a way that shows you it is.

In my opinion weight loss comes from diet NOT exercise. You also don't have to eat "extremely" healthy... just try to eat everything in moderation. If it's not sustainable you won't keep doing it.

Are you really going to make fun of the one person who took the time to answer your question?

I can see why NO ONE replied to your question

Keep treating people like that and you'll find yourself blocked by a lot of people

Time will tell. Placebo's only last for so long so if you can continue to feel like this longterm then it's not.
