Which is More Effective for Weight Loss, Exercise or Diet?

Theoretically speak about how to lose the weight, there are two important things controlled diet and physical exercise. It is better you eat less food and move more throughout the day. Practically speaking, this is the most difficult thing to be applied in the life. Every person has limited resources such as will power, time and money. They need to take the each option to stay committed with to lose the weight. There are number of things which can be adopted to lose the body mass on the permanent basis such as sit less, do not eat processed food, do not drink alcohol and eat the healthy food such as vegetables. Everybody will consider the amount of resources they have to choose the best option either exercise or diet to weight loss.

Here, I will again put the emphasis on practically means which way is better to lose the weight and answer should be which is more practical for one. Let me share a meta-study with you and it is published by the Journal of the American Medical Association in which they took certain number of people with bulk body size and divide them into groups with different controlled diet plans. There was no significant difference in the number of pounds they lost on average when comparing with other groups, they key factor was how stick or committed they remained with the diet. People often ask the questions to the health experts and nutrition’s that which is more important diet or exercise, the answer is what you can do with full commitment. An exercise will be a better option for the group of people, who do not stop themselves eating too much and fat food, on the other hand diet is an only solution for the kind of people who do not find time for the exercise or not comfortable with it.

In order to understand about the weight loss, we need to burn more calories than we actually consume. We gain body mass when we are consuming more calories and burring less. According to the health medical studies, to lose one pound a person have to have the deficit of 3500 calories, either through exercise or diet. Let’s put an example here, a man with weight of 200 pound wants to lose one pound in a week. He can achieve the goal through 3.5 miles running in single day which makes 24.5 miles in a week. He can achieve the same goal through dieting to reduce 500 to consume 500 less calories each day (two Starbucks Frappuccinos) makes the total of five hundred calories. Theoretically speaking, both are achieving the same results but for one person 3.5 miles exercise is a tough job and another person may not resist to food and eat 500 calories less than its normal routine.    

This study also shows that consistency is a key to success and consistency is only possible with the option you are most comfortable with, otherwise inconsistency do not offer the weight loss results on long-term basis.

It can also increase your motivation as well as your diet plan will not be disturbed either.

Starving   

It is observed that people often let them starve in the busiest days or in a situation when they do not have access to food.

Its natural people would not be able controlling their temptation to food after long starving. Secondly, when you do not eat the food in long hours, it disturbs your blood sugar level and it is unhealthy due to other reasons as well.

Not Including the Protein in Breakfast

Every person who wants to lose the weight must be knowing that having break is too important for weight loss and skipping breakfast will never let the person achieve weight loss goals.
