would you like to exercise or go on diet to lose weight?

I'm very lazy and I don't have a lot of stamina so I rather diet than work out. However, what started as a simple diet lead to me having an eating disorder _

I use a combination of eating less and exercising more. Remember, the way to lose weight is to expend more calories than you put in your body. However, your body also needs fuel to live. So, starving yourself will only cause your body to work harder at maintaining its current weight. If you eat moderately and exercise regularly, you have the best chance to lose the weight permanently. You should also not try to lose more than two pounds a week. More than that and you are only losing "water" weight. This is why as soon as you stop dieting the weight comes right back.

When I was younger, I could lose weight by restricting meals. Now I must exercise and choose proper foods, and eat a good breakfast. I cannot have just cereal, in order to lose weight I have to have protein in the morning. Most people do not get enough exercise and that is very important, not only in weight control but in overall health.

For the first time in my life I took the right approach about losing weight. See I use to be one of those roller coaster dieters, starving my body to be think. I could easily lose weight but never seemed to keep it off long term. So last Oct 2009 I decided for the first time I would start off right. I bought a Jillian Michaels exercise bike and for the first time in my life begin to drink water. So at the same time I decided I would eat 3 -4 sensible meals per day. Although she recommends we ride the bike for 1/2 hour per day seven days a week I decided while watching my favorite show that that I would do one hour for 5 days a week. Can I tell you that in short of 4 months I lost 60 lbs and have never look leaner and skinny. My skin and health has dramatically been excellent. So now I only use my bike 3 days a week for 1/2 hour for cardio, continue to drink my water and still eat 3 - 4 meals per day. So for all those roller coaster dieters, they must realize that unless you take control and discipline for them selves, all they are doing is literally slowly killing themselves. This is my 11 month since the start of my great path and can I say I still looking great oh and eating too.

Not necessarily to starve yourself in order to lose weight. If you are good in exercise and maintain it regularly, I think there's no need for you to starve. Your exercises will enough to burn all the fats and calories that you take. But to achieve the most effective lose weight program it should be accompanied by balance and healthy diet and eating more fruits and vegetables.

Right now i'm on a diet.i have 65 kg for 1.65m and 27 years old. My BF likes a little bit oveweight girls so the weight was not a problem for me. My health is in excelent condition now, but i have to worry for the future.If it is genetic, because my grandmother and mother, and all her sisters are overweight, i can be too.. :(( i do not have time or desire to exercise so i hope that eating healthy food will make the diffrence

Yes, if I have to lose weight, I would like to go on diet. I can get weight easily. But I know that over weight is not healthy at all. So if I have to go on diet for health reason, I will do that. In fact, I am doing it now after gaining so many kilograms during my pregnancy. And so far, I get good result. I am happy with the achievement that I get at this moment.

we used to walk and run in the UP oval every sunday. it is a beneficial activity. i would prefer exercising and going on a diet together. that is the best routine.

I would advise those who want to go on a diet, not to go to the extreme. If you want to go on a diet, don't take fatty meat, I believe by now you should know. For me, I don't go on a diet. I exercise and go to the gym, play badminton, do whole body exercises. If you starve yourself, you could develop complications or syndromes like anorexia and bulimia.

Some years ago, I was a bit overweight. Not much, but since I was only 18, that was so much for me. I tried to lose weight by going on a strict diet, and at the same time, since I was a professional dancer, I pushed my energies and my body to a limit, because I had an hour and a half of dance lesson everyday. That didn't work a bit, to be honest, I just felt more and more exhausted. I "succeeded" in losing weight only when I encountered a bad case of depression, I lost about 15 kilograms in three months, not healthy at all, and I quickly became underweight. As of now, since I feel way better, I decided not to go on diets anymore. The best way to feel good is eat in a healthy way and make a bit of physical activity, neither to starve nor to exhaust in the gym.

I think that a correct feeding and above all a correct physical exercises are the best ways to lose weight. Remember that your body is a complex organism and the factors that influence the weight are so many.

hi chiumee, yes i like it, and i do every morning yoga, and really it's very effectable,

Eating less works all the time~

For me, I will choose exercise is still the best way for loosing weight and also Healty way to manage your body shape, Diet for me only make you suffer and have no benefit if you didn't do it right and not under Doctor supervisor

A little of both, but in moderation. I watch what I eat and how much I eat. If given the choice between white and whole grain, I pick whole grain. I'm trying to eat more fruits and vegetables. I'll let myself eat things like ice cream, but not in huge amounts. I go to the gym three times a week and push myself for an hour. I also try to go out and walk more on non-gym days. Both dieting and exercising won't hurt you as long as you don't take it to extremes. I've been at it for about a month and have lost about five pounds.
