Exercise and weight loss ,how do you make it work ?
Even though i'm a dietitian,my clients frequently ask me about
exercise as part of
their weight loss plan.
Since managing weight effectively depends on calorie balance,
it make sense that we talk about not only diet (calories in),
but also about exercise(calories out).
Some clients will misunderstanding about calories out and in .
Today lets learn some tips from Susan Bowerman
(MS, RD,CSSD Paid consultant for herbalife)

1. Try to lose weight by only increasing your activity is tough to do.
-to lose a pound in a week's time ,strictly through exercise,you'd need to burn up
an extra 500 calories a day .That's no small task.you'd need to hike
uphill
for an hour with 10-pound backpack or swim laps for 90
minutes,without stopping.
(this i totally can't do it :P)

2.On the other hand, if you simply cut calories without increasing activity,your
metabolic rate,which is the number of calories your body needs to keep basic
processes going can dip somewhat.
-So even though you're watching what you're eating, and lowering your intake of
calories,your output of calories can drop as well,leaving you more or less in
calories.

3. Strength training can help to increase metabolic.
- This is in part because it helps to build lean body mass,which can bump up your
metabolic rate and help offset the drop in calories burn that takes place
when you cut your calories.

4. It's easy to make mistakes when counting calories both in and out.
- People tend to overestimate the calories cost of the exercise they do and
underestimate the number of calories they eat,which helps explain the
frustration many people feel when they're sure they're dong everything "Right",
but the scale just won't budge.

5. You need a lot of exercise to lose weight,but you need even more to prevent it
from coming back.
-Once you've lost it, regular activity is critical when it comes to keeping weight
off. But it takes more than a leisurely stroll around the block.
Studies indicate that it may take as much 90 minutes of brisk exercise every day to
maintain lost weight.
