Which Contributes More To Weight Loss – Exercise Or Nutrition?

An understanding of fat burning exercise and nutrition are both vital to achieve and sustain permanent weight loss and fat reduction.

But which has more of an impact on fat burning? Scientists carried out a  couple of exercises to come up with the answer.

Research On Weight Loss

There have only been a few studies to establish whether fat burning nutrition or exercise has a bigger impact on fat burning. The studies were particularly interesting.

They compared weight loss results between people who move from the big cities to the suburbs and vice versa. The subjects in the cities and the suburbs had similar diet intakes. There was little that was unexpected in the findings.

Findings from the studies

Within the first year of moving from a city to the suburbs, the participants in the studies gained, on average, 15 pounds. Within the first six to eight months of moving to a city from the suburbs, the subjects in the studies lost an average of 15 pounds

The main conclusion of the studies was as follows:

The subjects living in a city did more walking than the subjects living in the suburbs. The city dwellers in the study tended to walk much more to go to wherever they were going, while people living in the suburbs tended to drive. This accounted for the change of weight.

An expert in the field of Applied Physiology and Nutrition has said that fat burning exercise has a bigger impact on fat loss and permanent weight loss than nutrition. It was said that exercise accounts for 65% and nutrition for 35%.

Research shows that to lose weight you should do an exercise progam as well as a diet program.

How Can You Use The Results Of These Studies?
