Weight Loss Through Diet or Exercise?

People believe when they want to lose weight they have to control their diet and the amount of the daily calories they receive and unfortunately they forget about exercising whereas losing weight can be easily done with proper diet and exercise. This is more common in women whereas most of them know that physical activity is more important. It is because it is easer to buy low calorie products.

Most people think that exercising can be replaced by low calorie food because they have to go to gym to burn more calories and so they think if they take less calorie it is equal with exercise. Do you think they are right? They can not be right because you don’t go to gym just to burn the extra calories. This is only one of the things that exercise does for you.

Nutritionists believe that you not only should not stop eating high calorie foods but should do it and then burn the extra calories through exercising.

Maybe most people can not afford to join the gym. They are expensive. For example one of them, the Extreme Fitness, charges more than $80 per month which is a little expensive. They also lie to people to attack them. For example the fliers they send emphasize that you have to pay $5 per month whereas when you go there to register you will find out that just the first two months is $5 per month and then you have to pay $80 per month and on the other hand they charge your credit card for one year as soon as you sign the papers. It is a kind of cheating. I personally complained to BBB because their representative didn’t let me know about their rules and they refused to cancel my membership and refund my money. Then they had to pay all the money back totally.

Anyway. So gyms are expensive and you have to spend some more time and sometimes drive to get there but do you really have to join a gym to have physical activity? There are a lot of other ways to burn the extra calories:

• Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Try not to use your car when you want to go to your local shop.
• Try to walk more.
• Increase the number of steps you do everyday
• Try to use your bicycle more often.
• Try to walk when you are talking with a phone.
• Having a small portable stepping machine in the living room is a perfect idea. You can use it when you are watching TV. It becomes even more pleasant.
• Buy a skipping rope and use it every now and then during the day in your office or at home.

So as you see you don’t have to join a gym to burn your extra calories.
