In this new study conducted at the University of Minnesota, moderate or substantial drops in dietary fat were linked to weight loss in overweight men and women, regardless of how much they changed and/or increased physical activity.
On average, these successful program participants decreased the number of high-fat foods they ate by five to ten servings a week.
In women, even substantial increases in exercise were not enough to produce weight loss if they did not decrease fat consumption.
Men, however, were able to lose weight through increased exercise alone. This might be because the men were able to burn more calories in exercise than women, or might reflect either some metabolic difference or a problem in the study’s ability to detect changes accurately.
This study doesnt say exercise isnt beneficial , it is and necessary to maintain optimal health.
Exercise strengthens, tones, shapes muscles, keeps your bones strong, maintains and builds lean muscle mass which keeps the body burning calories.
But in order to lose weight efficiently, nutrition, mainly fat intake must be watched.
Yours in health
