Looking for a quick way out on how to lose weight without exercising? And that includes looking for weight loss products like green tea that many claim is good enough and doesn’t require workouts! Well, research says that such an approach may be flawed to begin with. Let’s look into what makes such easy weight loss plans, ie. without physical workouts harmful for one’s health.
Exercise To Lose Weight – Burn More Than Consume
The simple math in any weight loss program involves the rate of burning calories to that of one’s consumption of calories. But an equation, without adequate amount of exercising and well balanced diet, is not healthy.
Quoting Nicole Waldo from Livestrong.com – A pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. You can lose up by eating a well-balanced diet that’s coupled with exercise.
Again, the important thing is to maintain the right balance. So if you have been out of regular exercising or a basic fitness regime for long time, or are having any health issues, it is advisable to consult with your doctor before starting.
Living Without Exercise Or Diet
Exercising is highly recommended for everyone as it is good for your heart and lungs. However, there are many people out there who find this too hard to follow.
Like Nikil from Coimbatore, the guy I met on my last vacation to that part of India. We were sitting in this train and chatting up about life, health and food when Nikil mentioned he hates to exercise. Activities like running, jogging, brisk walking in the park or even lifting grocery bags seemed too tiring to him. As for myself, I too am on the lazier side of life, but do make it a point to play some game at the local club everyday, like football or badminton.
So when Nikil mentioned his dislike for any basic workout, I felt he was missing out on something so exciting in life. And when I asked him what he did for a workout to cut belly fat, his response was hilarious…
“I do walk fast while going to the loo!”
Jokes apart, the thought of pumping weights or running in the garden or some strenuous exercising can be boring for some people. But there are simple forms of workouts like brisk walking in the park or playing tennis at the local club or a good swim everyday that can be very exciting and refreshing. Don’t you agree?
A Gym Membership Not Necessary
A weight loss program that is built only around green tea or other products aren’t holistically good. Because one cannot and should not ignore daily exercising. Apart from weight loss benefits, daily physical activity also maintains our muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems and keeps them healthy.
So if you see someone drinking green tea and turning to other foods to lose weight without having daily physical activity in the plan, you know what to do. Mention this,
80% of your fitness depends on what you eat and only 20% depends on work outs. If you know the right and healthy diet, you just need to indulge in moderate exercise for 15-20 minutes only.
