Diet control and exercise yield same results

Overweight and obesity require a rigorous amount of exercise, though some diet programs also stress on the fact that diet control is a better option to lose extra pounds. There are different and equally proven theories that both types of methods work for achieving the motive of getting thin. However, in a recent research, it has been found that eating less and exercising more are equally good at helping to lose weight. The research is clearly a good response to the questions that prevail in the multi-billion dollar diet and fitness industry.

“It’s all about the calories,” said Dr Eric Ravussin of the Pennington Biomedical Research Centre, which is a part of Louisiana State University. “So long as the energy deficit is the same, body weight, fat weight, and abdominal fat will all decrease in the same way.”

The results of the research were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. The basic idea of the study is geared to provide a better solution, which lies in between both diet and exercise. It has been suggested that a combination of controlled diet and good exercise can given the results in an efficient way.

Most people are concerned about the decision that they need to take while joining some fitness or weight-loss program–some of such programs emphasize on rigorous exercise, while some of them focus on the controlled diet and the benefits it imparts. However, as clear from the above study, it is one and the same thing–no one is better than the other: you can achieve the results either way, and you can choose the way according to your present conditions and preferences.

However, generally talking, we can easily note that exercise yields best results when it is accompanied with some good eating-habits. So, the final words would be like this study suggests–it is a combination of dieting and exercise that will work for you.
