Hi Melody
To the majority of people exercise is better for us than dieting to lose weight. But the majority is wrong about significant weight reduction by exercise. Exercise is better for fitness, but very inefficient and ineffective for weight reduction. Also, the minority who believe dieting is better for weight loss are also wrong. Dieting involves all sorts of commercialized schemes, which are unhealthy in the long term and so shocking to our bodies, we have huge cravings after the weight went down that cause us to go back to our old everyday diets of eating everything we feel like when we feel like and how we feel like. The pounds come back like bad thoughts.
The TRUTH is that we will reduce weight steadily by self-control over what we eat for the rest of our lives. Once we learn the knowledge about our metabolism systems and nutrition knowledge and change our eating lifestyle, we will control our body's metabolic balance and recover the perfect metabolic fitness our inner body will manage for us every single day.
The other ingredient is our self-control. Our human spirit can control the thoughts and feelings generated in our minds by our bodies along with our carnal spirit, which we are born with.
Once we choose to put our maturing spirit mind in control to learn about our body and how it uses what we feed it, we can begin to overcome all the temptations, cravings and addictions, which make up our carnal natures.
Don’t read the spam link attached to the question.
Or fall for the either/or proposition, or think you should be able to concentrate on one to the exclusion of the other.
Diet and exercise work together to form a virtuous cycle.
Of course, it’s the reverse of the one that leads to inactivity and loss of fitness.
The more you exercise, the greater the strength, and the greater the ability to burn calories.
So if “weight loss” is the goal, both are necessary.
But why should “weight loss” be a greater goal than strength, fitness, health and vitality?
Both! You can’t get good results without doing a good diet and exercise!
diet means a weight loss diet
means a way of eating
If you want to eat whatever you want without gaining any weight, then i suggest you grab a copy of the book in my profile description.
You have to have in mind that when you lose weight you lose equal amounts of fats and muscle mass.
For example:
You lose 10 kg
5 kg is muscle mass
5 kg are fats
I think your diet has a big factor in weight loss, working out can only do so much but if you are eating unhealthy and you work out you're not going to see any results. I think it’s all about diet. You get out of your body what you put into it if you put bad things into it you're not gonna get the best results out of your body and if you put good things into your body you get good results out of your body. I’m starting my weight loss journey tomorrow.
Neither is as effective alone, they go hand in hand.
Once you are in the routine of getting exercise, it’s easier to fix your diet. Your body begins to naturally not crave heavy/processed foods. Stuff like fast food eventually sounds way too greasy, heavy, and disgusting. You end up wanting more light and nutritious foods.
Drink a lot of water and 1/4 cup of bitter melon juice and salad, fruits, and salmon. I hope u lose weight and identity!!! BECOME A ALIEN!!!!!!!!
Both, in my opinion. For the best results, you must completely change eating habits, start eating healthy, fresh, organic food with lots of wedgies and fruits. Then include the workout slowly, adding new exercise whenever you feel you can. For me, this is a winning combo. :)

I agree with you, I think both will balance the equation.
DeleteReally I've never had weight problems, but I try to follow a very healthy lifestyle working out almost everyday and eating fresh, organic food !as much as possible).
ReplyDeleteGuess that the only way is a combo of both things, but it should became a lifestyle not a temporary "diet and exercise to lose weight"

Yes Silvia, both plays a great role.
DeleteThis is not an easy question. Exercise is important for overall health. However, if somebody eats 10 000 calories a day, then half an hour of exercise will do no difference. Only high intensity work outs are really effective and they are very hard to do if you're significantly overweight. There are also safer exercises that burn a lot of calories such as swimming but a person would have to swim 5 hours a day in order to burn 10 000 calories. As much as I love exercise, I'd say that DIET is more effective than exercise. However, it is best to practice both: a balanced diet and moderate exercise.
ReplyDeleteThank you for throwing more light.
DeleteI would say both work for me ,i love food but hate exercising, in order to keep fit and not get fat I have to do both.
ReplyDeleteGreat Post..x

Great way to stay fit.
DeleteI think both have their place but I do notice that food plays a larger role overall. (Which is a shame because I'd much rather workout than limit what I eat!)
