Most Frequently Asked Questions on Diet and Exercise by Grace Soong What is the quickest way to lose weight?  Losing weight is burning more calories than you consume. The real secret to weight loss is making small changes daily and slowly lose the unwanted pounds. Forget about quick results and settle for a long term course of action. With increased physical activity and exercise, the weight will continue to come down. Diets that severely cut calories might work in the short term. Once you meet your weight loss goal, the pounds quickly come back. Eat sensibly and combine this with 45-60 minutes of an exercise program 3-4 days per week. Is diet less important than exercise? Diet is more important than exercise. Diet contributes about 75% towards your weight loss or fitness goal. Not enough fuel and nutrition will result in little or no progress. On the other hand, too much food or an unbalance diet will neutralize any results from your exercise program. How do I get rid of my gut? Spot reduction (or exercising a certain part of your body to reduce its size) does not work. Genetics and diet play important parts in determining where your body stores fat. It is just too bad that we cannot choose which areas go first. My recommendations for losing weight (above) is the same for getting rid of your gut. Do you recommend that I exercise every day? No. I rarely endorse training more than five days a week. Rest and recuperation is just as important and should be part of a well-planned exercise program. When is the best time of the day to exercise? There are pros and cons to working out during different times of the day. Your best bet is to exercise when it is most convenient for you, consistently. You are better off exercising after work if you keep skipping out on your workouts because you could not get up in the morning.
