Diet or Exercise Y
by Orshi McNaughton
ou want what millions of others do-to lose weight. Whether it’s to trim off extra pounds so you’ll feel better, look better, or be better prepared to tackle whatever demands come your way, there are many contenders for your weight-loss attention ….
In the Left Corner: Diet Fad diets have tried for years to malign the fine name of dieting, while it is proper eating that
continues to be the vital way to weight loss. Research has shown that if you’re only going to do one thing in your journey to weight loss, it should be eating right. What does dieting mean exactly? It means taking careful note of every bite you put in your
mouth. But you can’t stop there, because just paying attention to how much you eat isn’t going to make you lose an ounce of weight. You’ve also got to take note of and reduce the number of calories you consume, and if you want to lose faster, you’ll need to make sure your calories are good calories. No Twinkies and Big Macs, but fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein sources, and lots and lots of water.
In the Right Corner: Exercise Like diet there have been all sorts of fad exercise programs, spanning from dangerous to ridicu-
lously funny. But exercise hasn’t lost its place in the race for weight loss. Why? Because savvy people realize you’ve got to hit the gym if you’re going to maximize your loss. The best technique is to burn more calories than you take in, and exercise is your golden ticket for shredding those calories. There are other reasons exercise rocks in the world of weight loss. It’s the best way to ensure the weight dropped is fat and not muscle. Also, when exercising your muscles tone up and grow stronger. With more muscle, your body’s ability to shave off calories increases, even when you’re doing nothing at all.
Who Wins the Battle? More than likely, you read this hoping that exercise alone would help you lose weight because
you hate the idea of watching what you eat. Or maybe you’re just the opposite, and you prefer to watch your diet but absolutely loathe exercise. Well, there’s bad news for you either way.
This battle that has been waging on for decades is ultimately a draw. If you’re not willing to
eat right and exercise, the success you see today will be gone tomorrow. Try as you might, one of these ingredients alone is not enough to help you lose weight, keep it off and have an overall healthy lifestyle. In fact, you’ll find that once you become serious about losing weight, you’ll be careful about what you eat because you don’t want to put all that exercise to waste. At the same time, you’ll push yourself harder in the gym because you realize you could burn even more calories, getting closer to your weight-loss goal sooner. So stop pitting diet against exercise and do both. Your good health and thinner self await! Guarantee Your Success - One of the quickest, easiest ways to guarantee that you’ll meet your fitness
and weight loss goals is to work one-on-one with a qualified fitness professional. You’ll be held accountable with your workouts and you’ll be instructed properly and shown techniques and strategies that will ex- pedite your results.
