Diet AND Exercise: Exercise alone is not an effective way to loose weight since the calories burnt by even extreme exercise are not the "match" for overeating. Speak with your Primary Care physician about an evenly balanced diet and exercise program. A visit with a nutritionist may be recommended.

No: The short answer is no. While exercise has been shown to help maintain weight after weight loss, diet is the most important factor for initiating weight reduction. Resistance training with weights will help to maintain muscle mass, bone health and a healthy metabolism. Focusing on high fiber while foods and lean protein hike eliminating processed foods is a good place to start for fat loss.

Exercise: On a basic level just adding consistent exercise to your routine will be beneficial (i.e.get off the bus one stop early, park at the far end of a lot, get off elevator & walk last flight of stairs). Walking everywhere you can is a great start. On a higher level, there are programs that provide a varied exercise routine lasting 20-30 min 5x's a week that work well. Consistency is key!

No...: It is important to add regular exercise, but to be "constantly exercising all through the day" is not only unnecessary but likely an unhealthy habit. To lose weight you need to manage your diet, your exercise, your sleep, your stress levels. Find a form of exercise you enjoy that you will stick with - yoga, jogging, circuit training... it will be of great benefit to your well-being all around
