| Despite
the burgeoning weight issue, extra pounds remain an enigma. Determining
whether to reduce food intake or up the ante on physical activity
to lose weight continues to be a nagging question. In recent news,
medical professionals of the American Institute for Cancer Research
have attempted to demystify the exercise more or eat less hypothesis.
According to researchers
findings, consumption of less fat, sparked more weight loss
than boosting up a fitness program. The fascinating aspect of
the study suggested that amongst women, modifying either dietary
or exercise behavior could promote other healthy habits.
The clinical study
showed that dietary weight management programs were more successful
than programs concentrating on working out. These results make
sense when on thinks about it because, people are prone to eat
more when they workout.
Nevertheless, nutritional
eating habits coupled with exercise are effective for long lasting
well being. But on the contrary, when the same participants
are re-visited a year later following a weight management program,
the vast majority remain in the same weight range. So, the question
becomes whether individuals are capable of adapting new fitness
regimens than modifying their consumption eating habits.
Obviously, the answer
varies from person-to-person because each person perceives exercise
and dieting differently. Whenever, people gain weight, it is
usually attributed to the intake of more calories. In order
to shed pounds, lose weight or burn calories, the body needs
to expend more and consume less food. Eating and drinking fewer
calories, engaging in physical activity or both, achieve both.
As a result, it is unnecessary to go on a diet, when you can
reduce your caloric intake and amp up the body's exercise. |
