ARTICLE ON LOSING WEIGHT
- There was an article that discussed whether brisk walking or working out was a better way to lose weight
- In part, depends on what you do at the gym
- They did not even touch on diet
- Exercise is a poor way to lose weight!
WALKING OR WEIGHTLIFTING TO LOSE WEIGHT
- Bottom line is, having a good diet is necessary ALSO to lose weight
- Walking, you might burn more fat calories and maybe make it to zone 2
- Trying to keep up with Andy will make you lose 300 calories
- However if you go eat a bag of M&Ms after, you’ve negated the calories you’ve lost
- Calorie in calorie out doesn’t work so that is why exercise doesn’t work as well as diet to lose weight
- Walking is good and heart healthy
- In your 30s, you start to lose pounds of muscle, so weightlifting can be good to help this
- Depending on what the weightlifting is, you may burn more fat calories
- At the end of the day, neither will really MAKE you lose weight
- Do both to stay healthy and help weight loss
