EXERCISE LESS IMPORTANT TO WEIGHT LOSS THAN TAKING IN FEWER CALORIES

In the past few years, there’s been a lot of focus on the importance of exercise when it comes to losing weight. Programs like Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” promote physical activity as the cure for the obesity epidemic in our country. It’s important to remember, however, that exercise alone simply doesn’t do as much for weight loss as some people believe. The most effective way to lose weight is to reduce the amount of calories that you take in on a daily basis. It’s simply a numbers game: if you take in fewer “good” calories, you have fewer calories to burn to lose weight or maintain your current weight. And, adjusting your diet to take in fewer calories is generally less time consuming than exercising.
