Exercise Vs. Diet: The Reality Regarding Weight-loss
Yes, you can lose weight with diet alone, but exercise is an important component. Without this, merely a percentage of weight loss originates from fat -- you're also stripping away muscle and bone mineral density.

Since training stimulates expansion of those metabolic tissues, shedding pounds through exercise means you're burning mostly fat. The number on the scale may not sound as impressive, but because muscle takes up less space than fat does, you look smaller and your clothes fit better. Data demonstrate that to shed pounds with exercise and keep it off, you don't must run marathons.

You simply need to build-up to five to seven workouts every week, 50 minutes each, with a moderate intensity, like brisk walking or Zumba. Strength training helps, too. But don't accomplish isolated weight-lifting exercises like biceps curls -- you'll get leaner faster by making use of your system weight against gravity, similar to movements like squats, lunges, push-ups and planks.

And, needless to say, beyond losing fat, people shouldn't forget that exercise might have other impressive health perks, like improving the standard of your sleep, reducing your cholesterol and lowering your stress level.
