Weight loss & exercise myth

Have you seen Adele's recent selfie? She's working out in the gym, and by the looks of it not really enjoying it, making fun of the whole situation ofcourse. I just love this photo, as it illustrates how many of us feel. We DO want to lose the weight, and we DO put some effort in it, but often we DON'T get the results we want. Does this sound familiar? Working your butt off in the gym and not getting results? The thing is, you might want to rethink your approach. Here's why.
​We are told, time after time, that we should move more, exercise more, not be lazy. But why are so many of us not getting the results we want? Could it be because muscles are more heavy than fat? Quick answer: yes, muscle cells are more heavy than fat cells. But what about food? It looks like the subject it changed from diet to exercise by the food industry. The idea that we can lose weight by exercising has never been proven. But please don't cancel your subscription at the gym right away. There are many proven benefits for exercising. Recently the UK's Academy of Medical Royal Colleges reported that exercise is more powerful than many drugs. They found that 30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week can reduce the risk of:
  • breast cancer by as much as 25%
  • bowel cancer by as much as 45%
  • dementia by as much as 30%
  • stroke by 30%
  • heart disease by over 40%

​A brisk walk that makes you slightly sweaty and slightly out of breath is all it takes.  They also noted that dancing, cycling, and even sex can bring dramatic health benefits. 

Bottom line?  Continue to get your exercise for a ton of health benefits.  But for weight loss, eat a healthy, whole food, low carbohydrate diet.

What are your best ways to lose weight? Is it working out? Your diet? Or both? I would be happy to hear form  you in the comments below.

Have a great week!
