its not rocket science
Calories in should be less than calories out = weight loss
And what about losing weight???Keep slogging MG, the weight will fall off, there's no miracles, just hard work, and the Mrs. assures me women are better at that than men
You have too much time now Merry
Mrs Datt lost weight doing something similar to this.
Every morning before she ate she would take the dog for a 45 min power / fast walk, after a week or so the weight started dropping off (not that she was overweight in the first place).
The weight loss was not related to her diet as she carried on eating the same type and quantity of food as before
One of the trainers at the gym she attends said that exercising first thing in the morning kick starts your metabolism, hence the weight loss. I don’t know if this is true but it certainly worked for her
As per Man from Del Monte: her cals out increased therefore she lost weight
Frequent but moderate workouts on a consistent basis are the key to success
Ahaaaa! Fair point
WTF?
Muscle mass cannot readily be converted into energy; the body will use a fat/glycogen mix (ratio according to exercise intensity) almost exclusively. If body fat drops sufficiently (and we're talking sub 4% here) then protein will eventually be utilised; it's called starvation. At this stage almost no exercise is possible, even walking upright becomes difficult!
Just train at the appropriate intensity to maximise the fat utilisation; there will be plenty of links on t'internet to explain how to work that out.
Biggest problem is that (as has been mentioned) no amount of any kind of training will compensate for calories > calories out. Most of weight loss is in reducing calories, exercise plays a relatively small part.

I've successfully managed to put on half a stone in the last couple of months. But still get into my 32" jeans!!(Okay, only one pair of mine is 32", this brand must have bigger sizes, or the wrong label or summat, but still...)
Only another 1/2st to go.

Maybe I've worded it inaccurately but here's some info on what i was talking about:
"Firstly let’s just remember the difference between losing weight and losing fat. The truth is you’re not going to look much better unless its fat you’re burning…. And quite often it’s not! If it were true that cardio just burns fat then you could just get on your bike and cycle all day every day and get ripped. But we all know it’s not that easy, overtraining causes the body to use muscle for fuel and to try and hold on to body fat instead of burning it.
Too much cardiovascular exercise will cause Cortisol levels to increase and as we know Cortisol will eat away at your muscle fibres and reverse the effects of your training. So remember sometimes less is more and limiting cardio sessions to 4-5 per week will be more effective than running for hours every day."
