You now know from personal experience that exercise can help boost weight loss, but don't underestimate the importance of a healthy diet, as well. Experts believe it's 75 per cent diet and 25 per cent exercise in order to lose weight and keep it off. More than 700 weight-loss studies showed that people who get the best results for weight loss are those who watch what they eat. And remember, it's much easier to cut calories than burn them off. It would take you around 20 minutesyou're not being too strict. At the same time, remember that exercise is an important part of weight loss. If you diet and don't do any exercise, you might be losing lean muscle tissue and bone density, not just fat. Weight-bearing exercise, such as resistance training, will increase your ratio of lean muscle tissue, and muscle is more metabolically active, which means you'll burn more fat even at rest.
