Is diet more important than exercise for fat loss?
From my research in this field I’m led to believe that yes, a strict diet intake is much more important to fat loss than exercise (be it cardio or anaerobic).
Thoughts?
P.S. – I avoided the “Diet and Fitness” category because it’s full of spammers

I think a good diet is better for weight loss, because I have a good diet and I`ve been losing some weight. But if you want muscles then I guess you should exercise, or both diet and exercise. But since I`ve just been on a diet and not working out as much I guess it works.

I have come to the same conclusion – If you eat bad fatty foods you have to work out just to stay level. And sugars are loaded into everything – the body craves and stores that stuff as part of your survival instinct. The more uncooked vegetables etc the better!

You are exactly wrong. I know because I have struggled with weight all my life. I have lost well over 100 lbs and still losing. I have found through diet after diet and various weight loss plans and so on that the thing that causes long lasting and rapid weight loss is exercise. When I don’t exercise, the weight loss is agony. When I do exercise, I don’t have to watch every calorie at all, I can eat a normal three meals of healthy foods and still lose quite well. Movement is the key, not what you are eating. Junk food will prevent weight loss.. but I’m talking real foods not in a box. I’m not saying you have to work out like a maniac, but if you don’t move, you will have to get down to starvation rations to lose anything. You can’t live like that too long before you snap and star gobbling down whatever you can get your hands on.

I am not agree to this research. I think, exercise is more important than diet to loss your weight. But balance diet is also necessary.

Dieting is generally far more effective than exercise for weight loss but nevertheless exercise also helps.
March 13th, 2011 at 4:24 pm
yes, you have to know which foods are best for you to eat to help you lose weight.

You really have to have a combination and happy medium of both.
They go hand in hand.
You’ve got to look at your body like a motor car. Fuel in movement out
Think on these lines and you will not go far wrong

Fat loss is determined by the amount of fat in the food you eat, the best way to loose fat is to build muscle with weight excercise

It’s different for everyone. Some need better diet or less food, others need more exercise. Still others need some of both. The latter seems to be the best idea for me.

They are equally important for maximized fat loss results. You can get fat loss with one or the other, but the two can work synergistically for best results.

both are important but found diet with only 45 min of exercise per week. good fat burner
March 13th, 2011 at 8:59 pm
They are both important but I would recommend getting you diet organised first.
