Diet control plus exercise is the golden combination for weight loss

In July 2016, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a weight loss experiment (link). The study divided overweight people who wanted to lose weight into the following three groups. The common goal was to consume 20% more or reduce calorie intake per day, and it was expected to lose 6 to 8% of body weight within 12 to 14 weeks.

1. Dietary control: Following dietary advice, reduce food intake and replace high-calorie density foods, but maintain normal physiological activities.

2. Exercise training: Increase the amount of exercise every day to metabolize calories.

3. Diet plus exercise training: Combine diet and exercise training, but keep the calorie deficit at 20%

The research results show that no matter which method you use, you can eventually lose weight successfully! However, in the long journey of weight loss, people often want to give up because the results are not as good as expected or there are too many restrictions. Therefore, in the group that only relies on exercise training or diet control, only 70% of them complete the weight loss plan (30% of them drop out midway). But when moderate diet control and exercise training are used, as high as 95% of them complete the weight loss plan. In addition, the cardiopulmonary function of the group that exercises increases significantly, but there is no difference in the group that relies on diet control alone.

So if you want to lose weight, this is the first reason you should exercise!

Stop saying you don’t have time to exercise. Exercise will only make you more efficient in completing everything!

Research from the University of Maryland shows that just ten days of inactivity can significantly reduce blood flow to the brain (link)! The brain is the organ that allows us to think, sort, and process all the information in our lives. People with better memory and reaction can always complete everything more easily. When you start to develop the habit of exercise, the brain has more blood flow and receives more oxygen, which can not only make you refreshed and energetic, but more importantly, it can shorten the time to deal with all the complicated things, complete the task quickly, and have more time to arrange the life you like! Make life better and improve work efficiency.

This is the second reason why you have to exercise.

The third reason is, which body shape is your goal, the puffy figure or the vest line?

Being skinny is no longer popular! Many supermodels today weigh much more than the average person! Why can one have obvious abs and a graceful figure even though he is not light in weight? The nutritionist here wants to tell you! The same weight of fat is 4 times larger than muscle! If you want to lose weight in a meaningful and good-looking way, you should not only pay attention to your weight. Body fat will determine whether you have a puffy or tight figure. If you want to gain muscle and lose fat, you cannot do it without exercise!

Follow your friends’ footsteps, work hard together, say goodbye to puffs and find your own curves!
