Sorry but just exercising won’t make you lose weight. You need portion control when you eat to reach your goal. I’m not saying don’t do physical activity. In fact you should workout to help you maintain a healthy weight. What you eat doesn’t give you muscle definition and aerobic capacity that only working out does. If you don’t workout and just diet, you may boost your risk of disease. Put the two together IE. Diet and Exercise, and it’s a force to be reckoned with. A powerful combo that is bound to help you reach your goals.
Nothing beats a great exercise routine and combine good nutrition with that and your heart and lungs will be fitter, and your bones and muscles stronger. It also lowers your risk for everything from diabetes and cancer to plus-size, elastic-waist pants.
It’s not just leafy greens you need in your life. Here is what else you need:
Protein: Strength-training with resistance bands, dumbbells, and hand weights, those fancy machines at the gym, or even moves that use your own body weight -- is necessary to maintain and build muscle, as is eating enough protein. What is a great protein source? Choose Nuts, whole grains, fish, skinless chicken, beans, low-fat or nonfat dairy, and egg whites. Try to eat protein within an hour of doing resistance exercise.
Good fats: Wanna be awesome at Sudoku? Well working out regularly is one way to keep your brain sharp. Moving not only encourages the growth of new cells in your noggin, it also nudges these cells to form new connections. Add great fats such as olive oil, canola oil, walnuts, avocados, salmon, and trout, to a pre- or post-exercise diet and you mind will help you stay forever young.
