Can you lose weight faster

[Nelly]

I know that if you want to drop pounds, ultimately it's about reducing the amount of calories you eat. That said, if you engage in exercise, too, can this lead to faster weight loss or is exercise only about building muscle, flexibility and stamina?

Hi,

One best way to drop weight quickly is tocut back sugars and starches, or carbohydrates for sure. This could be with planning a low carb diet or by reducing refined carbs and replacing them with whole grains. When you do that, your hunger levels go down, and you generally end up eating fewer calories.
According to surveys and recent experts, losing <2 pounds (0.45?0.9 kg) per week is a healthy and safe ratio, while losing more than this is considered too fast. However, you may lose more than that during your first week of an exercise or diet plan.

Thanks

Oh, yeah! Oops my bad hahaha. Uh, just adding some extra food for thought, you know...

You can lose weight fast with exercise. I mean, think about it. If you're cutting back on calories through your diet and then you add more fat burning into the mix through exercise, it's a win-win! That said, your diet truly is key when it comes to losing weight as quickly and effectively as possible.

How quickly you lose weight depends on your size, your age, your gender, etc. It also depends on what you eat, how much you move and how much you lift and how committed you are to all these things. Diet pills can help you but they won't lead to faster weight loss.

This is true, but that wasn't what Nelly was asking. She was asking about exercise and not diet pills. I mean, you made a good point that I think is totally true, hahaha.

Anyway, Nelly I agree with the others who say that exercise can lead to faster weight loss. Especially if you keep up with regular cardio and engage in regular strength training. Essentially as long as you don' let your exercise plateau you'll keep losing and not just maintaining.

Sure it can lead to faster weight loss. If you eat fewer calories and burn more, you'll definitely drop pounds at a faster rate!

Oh good! I was hoping that was the case. I mean it makes sense to me, but so many things now say it's all about lowering calories for weight loss and that exercise really only helps you to keep it off and not lose.
