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?? Nutritionists and physiologists did research to find 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. As few studies like this had been conducted, scientists followed them closely.
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 nutritional intake of both sets of subjects were similar. The results were expected, but fascinating.
Findings from the studies
- 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. Living in the suburbs often meant that the subjects had to drive, as opposed to walk, to perfrom many of their duties, while people in the city tend to walk more to carry out their responsibilies. This accounted for the change of weight.
Recognized experts agree that exercise has a greater bearing on losing weight than your diet. It was said that exercise accounts for 65% and nutrition for 35%.
Research shows that to lose weight you should do an exercise progam as well as a diet program. But we dont live in a perfect world and none of us are perfect.
What Does This Mean To You?
Can you burn fat and lose weight permanently if:
- you follow the right exercise routine, but do not change your diet?
