This article was last updated Sunday, September 11, 2011
An understanding of fat burning exercise and nutrition are both vital to achieve and sustain permanent weight loss and fat reduction. But which has more of an impact on fat burning? Scientific studies have been conducted to determine the answer.
Weight Loss Studies
There have only been a few studies to establish whether fat burning exercise or nutrition 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. While subjects living in the suburbs rode in a car to get to wherever they wanted to go (supermarket or school etc), subjects in the city often walked there. This was responsible for the weight change.
An expert in the field of Applied Physiology and Nutrition has said that fat burning exercise has a bigger impact on fat loss and permanent weight loss than nutrition. He said that exercise accounts for 65% and nutrition for 35%.
Most experts agree that, in a perfect world, you would do a recommended fat burning exercise routine as well as addressing your nutrition, if you want to burn fat and achieve a permanent weight reduction. But we dont live in a perfect world and none of us are perfect Weight Loss & Nutrition
