Eat

If you didn't eat this much, then you wouldn't have to work out as much either.

VS

If you don't eat this much, then you won't have to work out as much either.

What's the difference? And what if I'm trying to tell my friends politely? Should I back shift to the past tense?

Can these sentences be used? And does it mean: eat less, work out less?

Thanks!
