Physical exercise is for the health care which by regular walking , swimming , & gyms for Yoga , & systematic breathing steps play an important part for our health care .

In case of person under a heavy weight or a person under a thin body & appearance may take the recourse for reducing over weight or an improvement in the weight for the thin body .

This is my personal opinion

Well, if you mean loosing fat, then exercise is an important part of the mix, combined with a better diet, as Antonio says. But if you really mean loose WEIGHT, then probably no. During training, you loose fat, but you also gain muscles. And muscles are heavier than fat.

Hope it helps

Cheers

I don't think exercise is over-rated. A well-balanced life includes proper diet, exercise and other healthy habits (i.e., no smoking or excessive drinking). Of course TV and other commercials over-advertise the concept perhaps with their machines that can help you lose weight. But like everything else moderation is the key so that one does not become an exercise addict just as those who may have problems with compulsory dieting perahps associated with anerexia and bulimia.

I still want to believe that exercise is secondary to diet control in burning fat. However, diet control without exercise is like pill without complete dose.

This is my personal opinion

Healthy sports such as walking and some non-stressful exercise for the body as well as following the diet system is good behavior for the health of the body

Greetings

Zainab A Makawi oh but of course, maybe I didn't express myself well. What I think is mostly of people with the goal of lowering body fat tend to think that exercise is the very most important thing, leaving nutrition aside

Exercise improve body functions. When a body is functioning perfectly, there is possibility to keep a body in perfect shape and size.

Healthy habits help to lose weight and strengthen memory

1. Wake up early

Studies have shown that early sleep and early waking help to get rid of excess weight, because the burning in the morning is more than night, and sleep increases the secretion of the hunger hormone, and reduces the level of satiety in the body.

At the same time, early awakening helps to strengthen memory and concentration, makes people more active, and makes the brain more able to absorb and store information while night-time sleep negatively affects memory.

2 - Exercise

Exercising or walking improves our ability to concentrate, because it increases blood flow to the brain, thus increasing its performance and ability to perform multiple tasks at the same time. In addition, exercise helps to lose weight and control hunger, because the brain Opiate substances that control vital processes, such as hunger and thirst, control the state of mind and immune response, so they are natural drugs that improve cognitive abilities and at the same time maintain the agility of the body.

3 - Stay away from soft drinks and replace them with water

But we also know that they contain artificial sweeteners and preservatives that threaten the brain and lead to gradual loss of memory. To avoid their negative effects on the brain and weight, care must be taken to replace them with large quantities of Water that will help increase body burn during the day, and a new British study that drinking enough water increases brain activity by 14% and helps boost IQ much more than normal.

4 - Avoid junk food and fried foods

The researchers found that eating high-fat foods such as fast food and fried foods with hydrogenated fats not only leads to obesity, but also causes blockage of the carotid arteries in the neck responsible for the flow of blood and oxygen to the front of the body. Brain, which causes difficulty remembering things or thinking and increases the chances of stroke.

Ways to lose weight

First: Breakfast

(I have no time to eat breakfast: I have been late for my work or late for my studies) Wrong phrase, being careful to eat breakfast after waking up is very important, even if you do not feel like wanting food, neglecting breakfast leads to poor daily activity, Eating some sweets or pastries during the day, also leads to eating more food in the meal, which increases the calories in the following meals, which reduces the effectiveness of weight loss quickly.

Tip: Pour some fruit pieces or a cup of oatmeal mixed with a yogurt box and some pieces of fruit.

Try to have breakfast within 300-400 calories per day.

Second: the meal

Is an important meal because reducing calories in a meal may be one of the quickest ways to lose weight quickly. Do not eat high-fat junk foods and fried foods filled with hydrogenated fats, sweets, cookies and pastries that tempt you to consume more calories.

Tip: You can eat a cup of soup such as onion soup, tomato or fat-burning cabbage soup, or you can eat a sandwich of whole grain bread with many vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes or grilled chicken for an important protein meal while low-calorie.

The meal should be within 400 calories or less.

Third: Dinner

Eating dinner is also important for weight loss. It prevents the feeling of hunger the following day, as well as it supports the body's work to burn fat and prevent the accumulation of fat again.

Follow a new system in this meal, and refrain from eating sweets, pastries and soft drinks in the evening and before sleep, because any of the above will store the body during sleep.

Advice: Dinner should be light, consisting of fruit, yogurt, cucumber or tomatoes to prevent constipation and poor digestion, which can be within 400 calories or less.

Fourth: Snacks

Changing our eating habits and eating habits does not mean that you should not do all the snacks during the day, but what is important is the quality and quantity of these meals. Eating small meals throughout the day is the most effective way to ensure that you do not feel hungry all day and keep your calories low Great for the next meal.

Tip: Eat a snack every three hours consisting of fruits, vegetables or some nuts in small quantities. It is very useful to help lose weight quickly and also helps prevent the increase of cholesterol in the blood to contain nuts on unsaturated fats.

Of course, Doctor Exal

Attention must be paid to both sports and nutrition.

Great question ... Greetings

Without lowering the carbohydrate and lipid intake it is not possible to lose fat except you re not exercising 7/24. It is an input - output matter.

I think people do overrate exercise in the sense that they use lack of exercise as a reason they are not losing weight. I hear this in my practice all the time. I explain to people that exercise is an important part of a healthy life style, and it does contribute to weight loss, but the majority of weight loss will come from reducing calories. A pound of body fat is 3500 calories. You burn 100 calories for every mile you walk, run, crawl, etc. So you have to walk 35 miles to lose a pound of body fat. That's 5 miles a day 7 days a week. Most folks will not approach this level of activity. If I can get them walking 4 miles in an hour 3 days a week I tell them they can expect to lose about 1 pound every 3-4 weeks from exercise alone. It adds up over time, but, the biggest bang for the buck is caloric restriction.

Robert Joseph Starkenburg is your first sentence precisely what I've tried to say

What goes in must come out. Matter can neither be destroyed nor created according to the law of physics. Whether you want to lose weight through diet, exercise, or the combination of both, you're required to be discipline and to follow the regimen from start to end. If you take in 1000 calories a day and burn 1200, according to the law of physics, you should lose the weight in the form of heat through routine daily activities. The problem is not the exercise. The problem is sticking to the routine to do the exercise. It is without question that exercise is important in maintaining health. "What you don't use, you will lose" can be seen routinely in our bone and muscle cells. I recently read that "the lack of exercise" is more common risk problem in women in the development of cardiovascular diseases than obesity and smoking. Exercise, not only will it help to lose weight, but it will definitely improve how one feels and even improve how one looks if it's done correctly and part of the lifestyle. It promotes the feeling of well being by forcing the release of feel-good hormone such as endorphin in addition to keep the muscles strong and in good tone to keep us fit and looking "good". Even though the jury is still out regarding the relationship between exercise and telomere length, more studies have shown positive effects than otherwise. How about "fasting"? Why don't physicians recommend moderate or light form of fasting to the routine? What's wrong with fasting? What's wrong with holding back food once in awhile especially if there's no contraindication in obese patients? We hold back many other unhealthy desires in life. Why can't we hold back from eating once in awhile? I think fasting should be included in the regimen for weight loss if there's no contraindication. I've written my opinion regarding "fasting" on my page and will continue to add as I gather more information regarding the subject.

Herman Pontzer is the protagonist of the opinion that exercise is not essential for weight loss: “Workouts and weight loss…why exercise won’t shed pounds.“ (Pontzer H. The Exercise Paradox. Scientific American 2: 20-25, 2017). He compared slim hunterers and gatherers with rather fat city dwellers in North America, but he did not relate energy expenditure to body mass! I have discussed this in an editorial (free access): Fat in spite of Exercise? An Alleged Paradigm Change Results from Calculation Mistakes. German J Sports Med 69 (1): 3-4 (2018).

You will not lose weight if the consumption is equal or more than what is spent. It is a simple equation. What goes on metabolically is, of course, very complicated and complex and is not an easy mathematics equation. The energy expenditure or the amount of calories used during a typical 30-60 minute exercise is not really that much in the context of the total daily calories used just to stay alive. If we look at our evolutionary history, we have evolved to be the way we are because it must be the most efficient way for us to stay alive. We have big brain and long limbs. We use our brain to think and to take advantage for a better life. What do we use with our long limbs? We no longer run and hunt for our food. So if we no longer use our limbs to do the work, and instead, most of us just sit behind a desk for the most part of our lives to do the typical requirement of our modern jobs, I dare to extrapolate that we will eventually evolve to have short limbs and very big head that will contain even bigger brain in addition to very large trunk to accommodate the large food consumption that seems to be endless.

Hi

I think its a wonderful point to discuss and if we talk about body weight and exercise, I always give example to two amazing animals i.e. elephants & whale. just look at their diet patterns, life style and body weight. isn't it wonderful. in my opinion diet plays a very crucial role followed by life style and then its the type of exercise one performs. so its always a combo pack that can help an individual for weight reduction and its always an individualistic approach that's

going to change from person to person than a common approach applicable to mass.

The problem is not losing fat weight. Anybody can do that in a caloric deficit. The problem is preserve lean body mass (LBM) while dieting. If you lose a lot of LBM while dieting you will have lower metabolism and it will be harder to maintain the new weight.

Worst case scenario is also for people who lose weight and then regain weight.

If they lost a lot of LBM while dieting in the first place and then regain the weight, they will have a worse body composition than the initial one which is a great health risk.

Therefore, resistance training is so important when losing weight. The aim of a diet should always be to keep as much LBM as possible. Both for fitness folks, but also for the normal population.

Not forget, exercising makes it easier to control the apetite and will increase the amount of calories burned among the day.

Exercising = +++++

Best regards.

I am unfortunately surprised at the number of respectfully intelligent responses to this poor question.

Let's spend our attention and energy elsewhere, that is not here, answering an insincere question to which we all know the answer.

There are many more, urgent, important solutions to be discovered for the health of humanity, and our environment.

Do not waste time.

Drink water: Water helps to lose weight, so drinking a liter of water increases calories by 24-30% per hour. Drinking water before meals reduces caloric intake, so it is necessary to replace other beverages with water; To reduce sugar and calories especially for middle-aged and elderly people

Eating fiber-rich foods: Eating foods rich in fiber, especially viscous fiber, found only in plant products, such as beans, flaxseeds, oats, and oranges, help them eat fuller for longer periods, helping to lose weight.

The consumption of sugary drinks is linked to the risk of obesity and many diseases, because the calories consumed through liquids do not give the feeling of fullness such as solid foods, and this person takes a lot of calories without feeling it, which leads to overweight and obesity, Green tea, coffee, and water can be considered good alternatives to soft drinks and juices

Hi Exal García-Carrillo,

Exercise for weight loss may be overrated, as exercise alone can't ensure weight loss. But some sort of exercise or workouts are always necessary to protect & improve muscles to increase basal metabolic rate (BMR) that prevent calorie buildup, overall fitness for keep going. But for weight loss, one has to be in some form of calorie deficit (calorie intake < calorie burnt), by restricting total calorie intake to burn accumulated fats. and choosing foods(vege/fibers, fruits, whole grains, etc to last longer) that help nourish the good bacteria in the gut. The concerted efforts of total calorie restriction, choosing gut friendly foods, along with exercise, may contribute to weight loss, without stressing the body & mind for continuation. Weight loss process ought to be an easy-to-follow to continue, not a hectic, time-framed one.

Hi. Maybe. It is depend on different factors such as age, genetic, environmental and geographical factors, ... .

As previously mentioned, the amount of calories the body uses during a typical one hour of physical exercise is small in comparison to the total calories used in our daily living. Therefore, exercise alone is hardly enough to cause any significant weight loss. The question probably is not that "exercise is overrated" but "is exercise alone enough to lose weight?" The resounding answer is NO. There's still so much we don't know and understand about the body's cellular metabolism. Studies have shown that most of our energy or calories are spent just to stay alive in the form of basal metabolic rate. Basal metabolic rate is not precisely the same for everybody. The older we get, the rate tends to slow down. The body is amazingly efficient and complicated machine. I like to use automobiles as analogy to metabolic rate. Some cars are very fuel efficient and some aren't. It is much easier for the body to decrease its metabolic rate than to increase due to the body survival instinct. To spend more energy will cause more stress to the body and is much harder than to conserve. Studies and many evidences have shown that after a period of significant weight loss, the metabolic rate will also decrease. Therefore, unless there's a proportionately significant caloric restriction being adapted, the body will eventually gain the weight back, and probably even more because the metabolic rate decreases while the consumption remains. While currently there's no dispute in regard to the health benefit of exercise, the effect of exercise metabolically and the overall impact on the body adaptation to the overall change in the calorie expenditure is still debated. The body has been shown to produce a metabolic compensation in response to calorie reduction and increased activities by lowering its basal metabolic rate. Exercise may induce the body to seek more food to compensate for the calories spent, thus effectively negate the calories spent during exercise. The body may also choose to be less active after exercise, therefore, effectively compensate for the increased activities during exercise. Since basal metabolic rate varies greatly among individuals, this could be one reason why some people can stay lean and others have such difficulty to shed the pounds they have gained through the years. I think the most important factor in staying lean and healthy or in losing weight for obese people is to "adapt to healthier lifestyle" in which the caloric consumption is moderate and derived from natural and healthier form of food with less animal fat in addition to stay physically active.

Among the treatment is to monitor food and calculate what enters the body of calories

I think for those who do not like dieting exercise

Please check

Robert Ross.Is Exercise for Weight Loss Overrated? April 2013;37, Supplement 2, Page S236

Hi Dr. Exal García-Carrillo,

Calorie deficit or some sort of calorie balance (calorie intake to be smaller or equal to calorie burnt) plays the major role in weight loss, and exercise will play a supportive role for this, by improving muscle mass and BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate).

Exercise changes the muscle cell metabolism so the body can adapt to that. With non-exercise diet you lose weight but the body changes not as much as with exercise. Of course the effect of exercise needs to take place for some years as overweight is also build up over several years.

I think most people have an exaggerated opinion about exercise and its role in weight loss. In fact, misunderstanding about weight regulation and over estimate of energy expenditure from exercise are main reasons for this overrated. On the other hand, if our goal is weight loss exercise have a supportive or associative role. As well, you can loss fat and make muscle with a combination exercise program. Other benefits of systematic and regular exercise like cardiovascular health, bone structure, metabolic diseases prevention, mental health and ........ are undeniable.

In my opinion, changing in life style and behavior formation for managing appetite and inactive life style can help us to control our weight. Behavior formation is a multiple method for achieving and maintaining the goal ( weight loss). In this method we should find the obesity reasons in an individual and then make specific program which one of its problem solving methods is exercise.

A diet for those who do not like exercise

Women who really want to succeed in getting fit must take care of food and attention because it is the main reason for the agility of the body, and that the increase in weight and obesity is the main cause of food; treatment is to monitor food and calculate what enters the body of calories

Of course, if do you think of weight loss, you don't need exercise, with a diet based on caloric restriction, the question is: ¿is the weight that you lose fat or muscle? for the other side, if the aim is to lose fat, is mandatory changes in your diet and to do exercise.

I believe Jack Lalanne had it right.

"Exercise is king. Diet is queen."

Hi, everybody,

while the centarl point here is weight loss, calorie-intake matters the most and exercise will be a supportive to it. as exercise alone can't ensure a weight loss. But for building a mascular body, exercise comes first.

It has to be a lifestyle approach. Losing weight is easy: you just nedd to eat less calories than what you spend! The thing is how to do this without losing health (and even to improve health). No exercise is a waist of time, even if you don`t lose weight.

For building muscular mass, you need both exercise and diet, well planed and personalized.

In my opinion, this is absolutely true that exercise is always over-rated for the fat reduction and weight loss. I think, in context of balanced life style, exercise is the most important factor that has many benefits including mental physical and social well-being. But, for the fat loss it is over-rated because of the commercial benefits.

The programmer is considered one of the best ways to maintain health by applying diet

As I mentioned earlier, let me repeat that diet, (that is type of foods of one's choice, amount of food intake and the over all life style) matters the most, while it comes to losing body weight. Exercise is required for all to mantain a good health (to remain well toned & fiited).

for me exercise is a way for a healthy life style not for weight loss or fat loss in some places but 90 percent of fat loss depend on diet not on exercise..... But together exercise & Diet will be supportive

Hi everyone, so, the answer is, here already: both a balanced diet (with calorie restriction) and exercise must go hand in hand, to achieve the goal of a desired weight loss. Good luck.

Hi everybody, exercise and diet are correlative things certainly.

Exercise is the only key to unlock the prevalence of weight loss bcos it has no side effects compare to diet restriction drugs or any other methods. So therefore, what is important is to continue to engage in exercise regularly, that will really help you to maintain an healthful lifestyle.

Exercise is an important factor , past decade many epidemiology studies retrospective in various scientific fields are studying the relationship between various diseases including cancer and lifetime physical inactivity using the exercise as an important independent variable. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29609041/

In an article for a leading health journal the authors – who include British cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra, an outspoken critic of the food industry – accuse food and drink firms such as Coca-Cola of having wrongly emphasised how physical activity and sport can help prevent people becoming very overweight.

The truth, they say, is that while physical activity is useful in reducing the risk of developing heart disease, dementia and other conditions, it “does not promote weight loss”.

Exercise is a variable could be effective for fat loss. Keep in your mind more important than weight is body composition than should be consider for people that initiate exercise. Exercise can stimulation of some axis of endocrine system and release some hormone which effect on mechanism of improvement of body composition. On the other hand macronutrients and micronutrients of diet had independent effect on mechanism of body composition. Couple of diet and type of exercise help to people until improvement of body composition. This mean that increase of fat free mass and lose fat mass. Some people think that only following a specific diet for weight loss is enough. But exercise also has unique effects on different system of body. For example mTORC1 is a signaling pathway that involvement in muscle protein synthesis. Protein ingestion without exercise could evoke of mTORC1 signaling pathway in muscle cells but not more. However research had been shown that resistance exercise can active this pathway significantly. Another example is keto diet. Many people believe that keto diet without exercise enough for fat oxidation. But many pathway that increase fat oxidation depended on the exercise. Some exercise could maintain rise of energy expenditure after exercise in rest state. Many people start exercise for weight loss. They going to gym and following a proper diet, they also have a good recovery and sleep state. But after a certain period while they measured their body weight they observed that did no change occur in their quantity of body weight. But they don’t know this important issue that their body composition improvement in a same quantity body Weight. Therefore body composition should be consider more than the body weight. So we cannot say that exercise is overrated for weight loss. You can lose your weight with unhealthy method but whether all of lost quantity from your fat mass was? No, your fat free mass also had quota in quantity of weigh loses. Exercise influence on many mechanism that effect on body composition, exercise could be effective on thyroid gland and this gland has an important role in metabolism. Exercise can stimulation of cAMP pathway signaling in fat tissues And this signaling is contract with lipolysis. Exercise can increase muscle protein synthesis. Exercise can stimulation of anabolic and catabolic hormone for improvement of body composition. Exercise could be effective on lipoprotein (HDL- LDL- VLDL) . Also specific exercise can increase of mitochondria density and mitochondria is one of important organ in cell for fat oxidation. But exercise have many variables that each variable could be effective on purpose of training and these variables must be manipulated very smart until you reach to your purpose. Before anything, assessment of your physical activity, diet and your life style will help design of appropriate exercise with optimal stress for your purpose. On the other hand, diet must be very meticulous considering with exercise.

best wishes for you

CAN YOU lose weight without exercising? Plenty of sweat-averse dieters out there sure hope so. And who hasn't heard that whole "weight loss is 80 percent diet, 20 percent exercise" stat?

Experts anything but agree on the actual split, but it's hard to ignore the fact that when it comes to losing weight – and keeping it off – diet and exercise have two totally different roles.

Diet will decrease certain hormones, and would blunt mTORC1 activity. You need mTORC1 activity for certain pathways, such as the anorgenic pathways. You need that for neurological activation. So I doubt if that can be achieved solely by diet.

interesting imputs thanks

At least, for weight loss, the answer is that 'only exercise is not enough without controlling the energy intake. Good luck.

Excess weight loss exercise. It's true. As far as I know, exercise burns between 10-27% of calories a day, while the basic metabolic rate of an individual ranges from 60-80% of the average calories burned by the body daily.

Exercise is good but you have to go for foods rich in nutrients to enhance your brain chemistry , reduce the level of high density calorie foods to ignite metabolism . Your weight will drop.

Excess weight loss exercise .
