Diet more important than exercise for weight loss, reports study

Although exercise can help with weight loss, diet is a much more important lifestyle factor

A recent study has found that diet is more important than physical activity such as walking and fidgeting to lose weight. Hence, take note and start paying attention to the food you need to eat for a fit body.

As per the study, exercising increases appetite especially with prolonged endurance exercise or with weight lifting that can ultimately sabotage the best of intentions of losing weight.

"It could not be more true. What you omit from your diet is so much more important than how much you exercise," nutritionist Lisa Drayer was quoted as saying.

All this is not to say that exercise does not have its place. It is certainly important for building strength and muscle mass and flexibility and can help manage diseases, including heart disease and diabetes. But although exercise can help with weight loss, diet is a much more important lifestyle factor, Drayer noted.
