If you have been trying to lose weight and reading the weight loss literature on various forums (both online and forums), then you must have realized that by following all this weight loss literature, the only way to that you can get to lose weight is through the use of changes in diet, exercise and supplements. You might also have wondered if it is possible to lose weight with any of these methods alone, such as if it is possible to lose weight with the help of diet modification, exercise, or the use of supplements alone, without having to seek the help of the others. two.
Well, the truth of the matter, at least according to most commentators on this subject, is that aside from exercise, neither of the other two main weight loss methods promises to make weight loss possible on their own. It is true that there have been cases of people trying to lose weight through the use of diet alone, or through the use of one or the other supplement alone, but the weight loss thus achieved tends to be very short-lived; so that one ends up regaining the lost weight, and perhaps something else, by stopping said diet or supplement. However, on the other hand, there have been cases of people who actually managed to lose weight through the proper and consistent use of exercise alone; that is, without drastic changes in the diet or the use of any supplement in particular, and where these people were going to maintain the healthy weights thus acquired for the rest of their lives.
The key to losing weight through exercise alone lies in making sure that you are using the right type of exercises and that you are exercising very regularly. Use the wrong types of exercises, and you could actually gain weight instead of losing it, since there are exercises that are better suited for gaining weight than losing weight.
Regarding consistency, the only way you can lose weight with exercise alone is to build your exercise regimen into a part of your life so that you don’t just work out once in a while and start wondering when the the scales do not budget. Ideally, one should exercise both inside and outside the gym (at home), so that in addition to the focused exercises one does inside the gym, one also adopts a more active lifestyle outside of the gym (walking to work instead of drive, whenever possible, use stairs instead of elevators in tall buildings, etc.).
It is worth mentioning, of course, that while one will not make use of “dieting” as a weight loss aid here, overindulging in the wrong varieties of food would, for all intents and intents, be self-sabotaging; so one still has to make sure they are eating sensibly all the time, even if they don’t go on a formal “diet.”
