Can you lose weight by eating properly and not working out?
I don’t have much time to work out since I am a grad student and have such a hectic schedule. I was wondering if i didnt work out or go for walks, is there a way in which i can lose weight with just eating healthy?
Yes, but not as fast if you add some exercise.
Yes but not as fast as if you worked out
You can lose weight just by calorie counting.
you will lose some weight, but to look rely good you should work out. I don’t think that 10 or 20 minuets of running a day would take up that much time.
i lost 7st in 11months without doing any exercise and sticking to a 1,500 calorie diet at first in was coming off quite slowly a couple of pounds a week then after a couple of months i was losing 4 and 5lbs some weeks but most weeks at least 3lbs.it was a slimming magazine diet back in the 80′s and the diet was called the flexi diet and basically you could eat whatever you liked providing you did not go over the allotted calories.

i’m living proof that the answer is yes. i live in arizona, and during the summer it is waaaaay too hot to exercise outside, and the only exercise i will do is hiking. with that said, i follow a fairly strict but sensible eating plan and have been losing weight. check it out: http://www.ehow.com/how_4547444_lose-weight-easy-safe.html
Hey Ash – we have 168 hours in a week. I will ask you just 1% of that time 1.7 hours per week from you. If you can give just this 1% , i can bet that you can lose all the weight you want.
Think about it. Just 1% of your time. All of us are busy. But it just takes 1% extra effort to realise our goals.
here’s what you can do
1. Based on your age, figure out your Basic Metabolic Rate- you can do this easily online.
2. Your goal must be to aim for 500-750 (not more) calorie deficit each day through a combination of a good healthy diet and exercise
3. Eat your breakfast. Research shows that breakfast eaters lose more weight than those who do not.
4. Eat 4 -5 meals spaced out at intervals of 3-4 hours each day. This keeps your metabolism chugging well throughout the day.
5. Once every week, do a high calorie or a high carb day. Give into your cravings, have that pizza slice. just to give your body a break from the dieting and help you to stay on the wagon.
6. Exercise is must, if you want to keep the weight off and not just be subject to the yo yo diet syndrome. Cardio and Weight training – both forms of exercise must be included.
7. What you can do at home at bodyweight compound exercises as well as cardio style workouts. Some examples are squats, pushups, lunges, burpees, skipping, pullups chinups, spiderman pushups. Just scour the web for bodyweight exercises and you will surely get a lot more. Even better get some basic weights – a pair of dumbbells to start off and you can increase the number of exercises manifold.
8. Start off with only 20 minutes of exercise – 2-3 times per week and build on that.
Again here, dont overdo the diet and skip the exercise. Our bodies are very smart. If they dont get enough food- presuming you go on a very low cal diet, our body tends to think that we are starving. Our metabolism goes down, the body then trys to hang on for dear life to the fat in our body. The exact opposite of what we aim for.
So eat well. Exercise well. Stay committed and you will melt that fat away.
Cheers!
