My Weight Loss Magazine
I just read an article in Time magazine about why exercise won’t help you lose weight?
“Cutting calories and watching what you eat is all you need to truly lose weight” is what the article states. I understand eating healthy is a vital part of weight loss (if you treat yourself to Dairy Queen after every workout you are not going to see results) but I don’t know if I believe that is all it takes to lose weight, especially if you are trying to lose 30 to 50 pounds.
Basically, I got the impression that eating a small fry or a blueberry muffin once or twice a week pretty much meant you were going to gain a pound, no matter how many times you worked out weekly. I don’t agree with this.
So am I wrong in the way I am thinking? Should I stop sweating all together and limit my food intake to salads (with no dressing of course), fresh fruit, and lean chicken every single day? Will one chocolate chip cookie truly send me up one pants size?
Johnny: Thank you, but any diet that tells me to limit or rid myself of anything other than junk food is suspect to me.
It’s true. You can exercise all you want, but if all you eat is a ton of junk, you’ll probably still gain weight, or at least won’t lose it. Diet and exercise go hand in hand.
Keep exercising, and also eat healthy. Exercise will help you build muscle, therefore increasing your metabolism. Eating healthy is good, and you may lose some weight, but you will eventually plateau, and exercise will help get you over that hump.
So you need both exercise and a healthy diet.
One chocolate chip cookie won’t hurt, if it’s an occasional treat. If you have one 3 or 4 times a day, that’s going to ruin your healthy eating. D
