While exercise is important for weight loss diet is more so. This is explained here. What you eat and how much you eat matter more than how much you work out. You need to observe a healthy diet with a good balance. You shouldn’t stop working out because that has other positive effects but you also don’t need to obsess over it. So many people do that now.
Key Takeaways:
- Any gym bunny will know that no matter how many hours a week you slog away at your local fitness center, you’ll never truly see the results you want unless you re-evaluate your diet habits too.
- Sweating it out on the treadmill for 40 minutes is all well and good, but getting home and treating yourself to something naughty will, unfortunately, undo all that good work.
- Experts from Loyola University Chicago looked at adults from the U.S., Ghana, South Africa, Jamaica and Seychelles, with participants wearing a tracker device for a week so physical activity could be recorded accurately with no risk of it being overestimated.
“Initial figures found the people from Ghana had the lowest average weight, with the American participants weighing the most, at more than 60 pounds more in both men and women”
