Dieting - Know the Facts?

There are a number of myths floating around that suggesting that ” Exercise does not make you healthier than dieting “. This is a kick in the teeth to all those fit healthy people exercising and watching what they eat. How can this be? Get to know the facts?

This recent study was undertaken in the USA probably has an agenda contrary to what we may already be thinking. Their findings reported that exercise alone could not reduce bodyweight more than dieting and that exercise does not make you healthier than dieting. In effect it says that by exercising alone or by dieting alone does not make you lose more weight or make you healthier.

But surely we knew this already whether we took notice of it or not. Whether we implemented a regime of dieting or exercising by themselves. It is plainly obvious that it is the combination of the two that:

1) Makes you a healthier person

2) Will indeed help you lose weight

Also it makes sense that by exercise we burn off calories as well as keeping the bodies organs in tip top shape. It is the combination not the exclusion that will make you lose weight.

Another prominent study in the US says that if you do not exercise while dieting you will lose more muscle mass and strength during a dieting regime. Is this good well no because if you are losing your body mass in muscle that is not what you should be dieting for. Because you will still have the fat left, and that is why you dieted in the first place. So the endorses the first study that when dieting you should continue to exercise and together as a combination you will become healthier and lose weight.
