You cannot do the workout and go eat a Big Mac and 2l of Coke afterward.

So eating a Big Mac and NOT even hitting the gym would be better? As i see it, if you advice people to both stop eating and workout in the same time, they will quit really fast and go back to old habits. With 4 workouts per week they can pretty much keep eating and drinking whatever they used and keep the same weight :)

So I think the two main options for long term health?ness are : either hit the gym or take care with the diet when you are not. Going full healthy and workouty after years of coke is almost imposible imo

Of course not.

My effort here is to move a person from a dead spot. That is why the gym part is at the end of the list. Also, after years of coke and unhealthy habits, you shouldn't go hard on your self. Start slow, and accelerate afterward.

either hit the gym or take care with the diet when you are not

That depends on the results you are trying to achieve. Taking care of a diet and not hitting the gym is going to maintain the current state of your body. That is a good approach after you get your body into the desired shape. After that, you can loosen up with the diet if you continue with the workouts.
