An understanding of fat burning exercise and nutrition are both vital to achieve and sustain permanent weight loss and fat reduction. But does exercise or nutrition have a bigger affect on weight loss? Scientific studies have been conducted to determine the answer.

Weight Loss Studies

There have only been a few studies to establish whether fat burning nutrition or exercise has a bigger impact on fat burning. The studies were particularly interesting.

They compared weight loss results between people who move from the big cities to the suburbs and vice versa. The subjects in the cities and the suburbs had similar diet intakes. The results were expected, but fascinating.

Results From the Weight Loss Studies 

• within the first year of moving from a city to the suburbs, the participants in the studies gained, on average, 15 pounds
• within the first six to eight months of moving to a city from the suburbs, the subjects in the studies lost an average of 15 pounds

The main conclusion of the studies was as follows: The subjects living in a city did more walking than the subjects living in the suburbs. Suburbanites used their cars more than city dwellers to get from place to place, while city dwellers walked more. This was the reason for the change in weight.

Recognized experts agree that exercise has a greater bearing on losing weight than your diet. In terms of the relative impact that exercise and nutrition have on weight loss, it was said that exercise is accountable for 65% while nutrition is 35%.

If you want to get rid of the excess weight and fat on your body, you will need to exercise as well as pay attention to nutrition. But we dont live in a perfect world and none of us are perfect.

Is there something of value that you can take from these results?

Can you burn fat and lose weight permanently if:

• you follow the right exercise routine, but do not change your diet?
• you dont do any exercise, but you are doing a well known weight loss diet?
• you do not wholly adopt the guidance on exercise and nutrition?
