Diet or Exercise - Which Is Better For Weight Loss?

Many people think that dieting is the fastest and best way to lose weight. Many other people think that exercising produces better and faster weight loss results. So who is right and what are the reasons for one being better than the other.

First, I'll state the obvious. Each person is different and unique. Having said that, it's obvious each person will get different results doing the same diet or the same exercise program. That's just how life is.

So which is better for weight loss... diet or exercise?

It's not even close. Diet is king when it comes to weight loss. They each have their place, but if you want or need to lose a lot of weight and lose it fast, focus on your diet.

Bodybuilders as a whole are probably the best experts when it comes to losing weight in short periods of time. A lot of times they are mostly dropping water weight and dehydrating themselves, but they also know quite a bit about gaining and losing weight.

If you were to ask any professional bodybuilder which they rely on more for weight loss... diet or exercise... every single one of them will say diet. I can guarantee you that.

There is only so much you can do with exercise and boosting your metabolism through exercise for weight loss. The truth is, you can increase your resting metabolism better through diet.

How?

Eating frequent, smaller meals... as well as eating a lot of low calorie foods that provide a lot of bulk (fiber). This increases your metabolism because you're making your digestive system work more to digest these foods and burn calories.

So if you were wondering which is better for weight loss... diet or exercise... diet is. Just eat smaller, more frequent meals to improve your weight loss efforts. Even if you eat the same foods... breaking them up into smaller meals would help you with weight loss.

That's true even if you eat the same exact foods each day... as well as the same amount of calories. So focus on your diet first if your goal is weight loss.
