Successful Weight Loss

How does combining a reduced calorie diet with exercise increase weight loss?

Exercise uses energy in the form of burning calories and exercising alone can cause weight loss. For example, running for 30 minutes at 9 km/hour will burn off 320 calories. In theory, if you are consuming 1,800 calories in your diet and running for 30 minutes per day, in 11 days you would lose 1 pound of fat. This approach to weight loss is often favoured by men who prefer to increase their exercise level rather than eat less! The ideal way to lose weight is to cut your calorie intake by 500 calories per day AND exercise. For example if you run for 30 minutes per day, in 5 days you will have lost 1 pound of fat, making your calorie reduction less drastic and weight loss much more achievable.
