Which Contributes More To Weight Loss – Exercise Or Nutrition?

An understanding of fat burning exercise and nutrition are both vital to achieve and sustain permanent weight loss and fat reduction. But which has more of an impact on fat burning?? Nutritionists and physiologists did research to find the answer.

Weight Loss Studies

There have only been a few studies to establish whether fat burning exercise or nutrition has a bigger impact on fat burning. The professionals were interested in what results would emerge from the studies.

They reviewed the affect of a move from the city to the suburbs, and vice versa, on the weight of the subjects. The nutritional intake of both sets of subjects were similar. The results were expected, but fascinating.

Findings from the studies 

  • within the first year of moving from a city to the suburbs, the participants in the studies gained, on average, 15 pounds
  • within the first six to eight months of moving to a city from the suburbs, the subjects in the studies lost an average of 15 pounds

The main conclusion of the studies was as follows: The subjects living in a city did more walking than the subjects living in the suburbs. Suburbanites used their cars more than city dwellers to get from place to place, while city dwellers walked more. Weight change was brought about by this.

The professionals agree that if you want to lose weight, exercise will be a bigger factor than nutrition. In terms of the relative impact that exercise and nutrition have on weight loss, it was said that exercise is accountable for 65% while nutrition is 35%.

Most experts agree that, in a perfect world, you would do a recommended fat burning exercise routine as well as addressing your nutrition, if you want to burn fat and achieve a permanent weight reduction. But we dont live in a perfect world and none of us are perfect.

Even if you havent moved from or to a city, does the study results have meaning for you?

Can you burn fat and lose weight permanently if:

  • you follow the right exercise routine, but do not change your diet?
  • you follow a good weight loss diet, but dont exercise at all?
  • you partially follow the exercise and nutrition advice?
