Exercise, nutrition & weight loss – 3 different results

January 18th, 2010 at 19:45

Exercise, nutrition and weight loss are three separate and distinct ideas that our culture has collapsed into one idea when we think about losing weight. Therein lies the problem.
Exercise for weight loss: If you are overeating, it’s almost impossible to exercise enough to counteract the effects. It takes a 200 pound person 30 minutes, walking 2 miles per hour, to burn off 1 ounce of tortilla chips or 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing. If the main reason for exercising is to lose weight by burning calories, can you ever really win that game?

Nutrition for weight loss: Choosing foods based on their content doesn’t produce long-term weight loss. If certain foods made you thin, you’d be thin today. Eating more nutritious foods will make your body run better, just as better gasoline makes your car run better. But that’s all they will do. Even steamed veggies will make you fat if eat them when you are not hungry. Giving your body more food than it needs, regardless of its content, is still overeating, and the reason for weight gain.

I, personally, tend to make wholesome food choices. I believe that this contributes to my health. I also am dedicated to vigorous daily exercise. I love it and I believe it contributes to making me fit. However, neither my food choices nor my exercise habits is the reason I have maintained my goal weight for more than five years. I have maintained my goal weight simply because I no longer overeat.

    eat&run, only possible in restaurants. This how it works: You eat a complete meal, and start the sport activity just finished the meal by running away. Is’t also healthy for your wallet :) ))

    dieting is way too hard. its better to just eat well and work out and you could still lose fat. muscle really helps cover over fat too.

    I agree with you. …
    I agree with you. Exercise as a way to burn calories is hard compared to simply eating less.

    My recent video experiment showed how hard it is to burn just 120 calories. I actually suspected something was wrong with my calorie counting watch.

    Putting on muscle is a good approach that exercise can help with. Then you burn more calories even while you rest.

    You look good for somebody who lost so much weight. I would expect saggy skin to be left over.

    if you want to make sure you don’t ever get fat again, gain 50 lbs of muscle tissue. after that, you will even find it hard to eat enough to fulfill your daily calorie needs as i do. because muscle tissue consumes trmendous amounts of energy, the more muscular you are, the better will be your ability to lose fat without cardio and stay lean.

    hehe, come on … where did you get this from? Organically farmed produce has consistantly been shown to contain significantly less pesticides as well as a greater amount of individual nutrients than conventional produce regularly sprayed with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides and grown in chemically enriched (essentially dead) soil. Only in extreme cases do the organic standards allow the use of some form of limited pest control on certain crops.

    also, if you exercise before a meal, your metabolism will be higher and you will burn the food you eat after exercise much faster than you would without exercising first. also, every pound of muscle weight you put on due to exercise helps you burn more calories in everyday activities.

  16. AmioliaFranciosa Says:

    sure, overeating is …
    sure, overeating is a a big problem. however, what you eat do matter. eating some kind of starch with fast carbs (like pasta) compared to eating the same amount of calories but very high in fiber makes a different. fast carbs makes you full – for a short while. then you will get hungry again soon and tend to eat more on your next meal. while fiber makes you feel full for a longer time and you can wait longer before you eat again.

    You’re right. Get the Marxists in here to make us do manual labor all day long for nothing in return. We will all be better off if we dont work on computers or use the internet. To the shipyards and mines with you lazy bourgeois!

  20. marneedear Says:

    True! There is …
    True! There is reasonable evidence that there is absolutely no difference between organicaly farmed food and conventionaly farmed, even as far as pesticides are concerned. Oh, and organic farming still uses pesticides.

  21. marneedear Says:

    there are foods …
    there are foods that can speed up or slow down the metabolism.

    no there are not. there is no scientific evidence of this.

    however stimulants can control the appetite.

    Excellent! He breaks down the myths and fine-tunes listening to the body. Love it
    He is unlocking my mindsets to achieve success.

  23. 43defense Says:

    He’s correct, but …
    He’s correct, but this doesn’t give the fat person much help. Fat people have no idea when to stop eating. They don’t have a sense of what a reasonable portion is. They are so used to eating until they can’t eat anymore, they don’t know how to look at it any other way. I say, “Concentrate on eating low calorie foods. You can eat quite a bit and not have too many calories.”

    USA and most capitalist nations out there need a food and diet revolution, not just a political revolution but a diet-health revolution to slowly change the way people eat, and to teach people that sedentarism (sitting all day and a pasive lifestyle) is totally wrong for the world :-)
