No Changes, No Weight Loss

Move it, or don’t lose it

Seventy-five percent of the calorie deficit in successful weight losers generally comes from eating fewer calories. But 25 percent comes from expending more calories through exercise.

Not only does exercise burn calories; it keeps a weight loser motivated. You’re just less inclined to mess up your efforts by overeating if you’ve primed your body with a good exercise session that works up a glow.
