ARTICLE ON LOSING WEIGHT There was an article that discussed whether brisk walking or working out was a better way to lose weight In part, depends on what you do at the gym They did not even touch on diet Exercise is a poor way to lose weight! WALKING OR WEIGHTLIFTING TO LOSE WEIGHT Bottom line is, having a good diet is necessary ALSO to lose weight Walking, you might burn more fat calories and maybe make it to zone 2 Trying to keep up with Andy will make you lose 300 calories However if you go eat a bag of M&Ms after, you’ve negated the calories you’ve lost Calorie in calorie out doesn’t work so that is why exercise doesn’t work as well as diet to lose weight Walking is good and heart healthy In your 30s, you start to lose pounds of muscle, so weightlifting can be good to help this Depending on what the weightlifting is, you may burn more fat calories At the end of the day, neither will really MAKE you lose weight Do both to stay healthy and help weight loss
