Is decreasing fats (carbohydrates) and playing volleyball twice a week enough to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's a start: Decreasing your caloric intake and increasing your activity level are both necessary to losing weight. You simply have to determine how many calories you're taking in with your meals, and proceed to burn more than that in the form of exercise.
