Can Exercise Alone Bring About Weight Loss?

An understanding of fat burning exercise and nutrition are both vital to achieve and sustain permanent weight loss and fat reduction. But does diet or exercise help more to lose weight?? Scientific studies have been conducted to determine the answer.

Weight Loss Studies

There have only been a few studies to establish whether fat burning exercise or nutrition has a bigger impact on fat burning. The professionals were interested in what results would emerge from the studies.

They studied people who moved from big cities to the suburbs, and the reverse, to determine the affect of the move on the weight of the subjects. The subjects in the cities and the suburbs had similar diet intakes. There was little that was unexpected in the findings.

What the studies revealed 

• within the first year of moving from a city to the suburbs, the participants in the studies gained, on average, 15 pounds
• within the first six to eight months of moving to a city from the suburbs, the subjects in the studies lost an average of 15 pounds

The main conclusion of the studies was as follows: The subjects living in a city did more walking than the subjects living in the suburbs. Suburbanites used their cars more than city dwellers to get from place to place, while city dwellers walked more. This was responsible for the weight change.

An expert in the field of Applied Physiology and Nutrition has said that fat burning exercise has a bigger impact on fat loss and permanent weight loss than nutrition. It was said that exercise accounts for 65% and nutrition for 35%.

If you want to get rid of the excess weight and fat on your body, you will need to exercise as well as pay attention to nutrition. But the consumate human being and the consummate world does not exist.

Even if you havent moved from or to a city, does the study results have meaning for you?

Can you burn fat and lose weight permanently if:

• you follow the right exercise routine, but do not change your diet?
• you follow a good weight loss diet, but dont exercise at all?
• you do not wholly adopt the guidance on exercise and nutrition?
