Some people say that it’s wrong to think that you can lose weight only by
exercising.
Well, that’s simply not true. You can do that! There are
plenty exercises that burn many calories and if you add a strict diet to all
that you can lose weight in no time.
All this is supported by a medical study developed by a few
college men. In exchange for some money they were asked to maintain a constant
weight.
The first step was to follow a low calorie diet but in order not to lose weight they had to limit their activity. This obviously didn’t work so the diet was changed to 6,000 calories.
Now they spent a lot of time exercising so that they won’t gain any weight. Day after day their weight remained constant because they did many exercises. There’s no secret: exercise and weight work great together but if you separate them you’ll have a problem.
If you spend an entire weekend in your bed doing nothing but watching TV and eating popcorn you’ll notice a few extra pounds on the scale the next day.
According to the popular belief, in order to lose a pound
you’ll have to spend five hours chopping wood or walking but that’s not a
viable option for no almost no one. If you put it this way it’s insane but if
you analyze the statistics a little bit you’ll see that they can be interpreted.
For example you can walk four times a week for half an hour
and you’ll burn over 1,000 calories and for those of you who don’t know that
equals one pound. That means that you can lose a pound in a week without
following a diet. Apply this pattern to any other exercise and you’ll see the
results in no time.
If all this don’t work you can always go and ask for medical attention. There’s a big difference between lean and obese persons when it comes about efficiency and grace. The obese individuals will accomplish a certain task burning a few calories while the lean individuals will do all that and requiring a few extra calories.
For example, you can see an obese person walking on the street very easily and gracefully while the person joining him will do the same thing a little bit harder. But all this is an empirical study that needs medical support.
Make no mistake, the key element when you want to lose weight is not the diet but the exercises. According to some medical observations in 7 days the optimum weight loss proceeds at approximately two pounds and this causes depression. On a long run this can affect the patient but he can control it and deal with the issue.
But there’s a downside to all that. Sometimes a perfect diet can be badly affected by exercises. If you exercise too much your appetite will increase and you’ll be very hungry. But that’s no good. It’s completely wrong for you to sit down and have a meal right after doing some exercises.
