Why include exercise in a weight loss plan?
Why include exercise in a weight loss plan?
While dieting alone can be an effective strategy to lose body weight, combining both dieting and exercising more is actually the best strategy for both reducing body weight and for your health. This is backed up by the results of numerous scientific studies that indicate for a given daily calorie deficit, people will lose more body weight by a combination of dieting and exercise than with dieting alone. Not only is more weight lost but virtually all of it is achieved by a reduction in body fat. With dieting alone, some muscle mass is usually also lost which is undesirable, especially for people over 50 years of age when age-related loss of muscle (sarcopenia) becomes a significant concern. To maximize fat burning the exercise part of your weight loss plan should include mostly light to moderate intensity aerobic exercise together with occasional short sessions of resistance exercise. You can comfortably forget about strenuous fatiguing workouts and high intensity interval exercise. Including exercise in your weight loss plan also has many other advantages as follows:

Dieting alone commonly results in a reduction in resting metabolic rate (up to 10%) which makes loss more difficult. Adding exercise to your weight loss plan helps to prevent this.

Using exercise to induce weight loss generally results in loss of body fat while lean tissue is preserved. If some short (~10-15 minute) resistance exercise sessions are included in the weight loss program and dietary protein intake is adequate muscle mass may even be increased which also tends to increase the resting metabolic rate.

Prolonged moderate intensity aerobic exercise can also increase the resting metabolic rate for several hours after exercise although this is not a significant factor in weight loss, despite some claims to the contrary by so-called fitness experts.

If the energy deficit achieved via reduced energy intake through dieting is supplemented by the energy burned with exercise, then the dieting can be less severe which reduces the impact on your appetite (i.e., you fell less hungry) and also makes it less likely that your protein or micronutrient intakes will be insufficient to support optimal health.

Regular exercise also has lots of additional health benefits that include improving muscle tone, maintaining bone density, improving fitness, flexibility, cardiovascular function and immune function as well as increasing insulin sensitivity, a particular bonus for anyone who has been diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.

Regular exercise markedly reduces the risk of health complications in overweight and type 2 diabetic people such as coronary heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, foot amputation and dementia.
