LOSE WEIGHT BY DIET & EXERCISE
LOSE WEIGHT BY DIET & EXERCISE
Dr Elinor L Sullivan and Dr Judy L Cameron from Oregon Health and Science University published their research study in American Journal of Physiology, Integrative and Comparative Physiology that losing weight requires diet and exercise. Weight loss occurs when a person burns more calories than they consume. This can be achieved by either reducing calorie intake, increased physical activity or a combination of the two.
There are limitations to this small study observed only a small number of female monkeys which may not be representative. This study does not tell us anything particularly surprising. Losing weight requires a person to burn more calories than they consume. Different people may wish to approach weight loss with different combinations of reduced calorie intake and increased physical activity to suit their needs, ability and lifestyle.
