    Exercising only will not help in reducing weight!

    Having a balanced weight as per one's age is required for a good health. Many people have that but there are some who are overweight and are struggling to reduce it to the normal levels. They are advised to do exercises for reducing the weight but in many cases there is no improvement.
    One of the main reasons for that failure in reducing weight is not to take care of the food intake that the individual is consuming. Not only the amount of food but its type is very crucial in mitigating the challenge of the weight reduction.
    Weight reduction can only be achieved when necessary exercises are undertaken and also proper and healthy controlled diets are administered. What are your thoughts on this?

    Exercise helps a person stay fit and healthy. It empowers muscles, circulates blood and helps maintain a healthy life. For weight loss, exercise is an important factor and also maintaining proper food habits important. Exercise alone won't help in weight loss unless you have proper food habits less in fats, cholesterol proteins and carbohydrates. For weight loss water intake is important along with other factors. Saying exercise alone would help in weight loss is unfair if you don't stick to a proper and healthy diet schedule. Many people with excess weight stick to exercise and burn fat to reduce weight. But it is also important you maintain healthy food habits and drink a lot of water.

    I have seen some cases where people are doing regular exercises but their weight is not decreasing. On enquiring further it is found that these people do not have control on their food intake and food habits.
    The purpose of food is to provide energy to work. The food taken should be utilised for it. So far so good but when the food taken is on the higher side then it is stored in the body in the form of fat and after that dissolving that fat becomes a herculean task.
    Weight loss program is not a one day affair. It requires sustained efforts from all the sides. Exercise is one of those efforts.
    Food intake and food type management is to supplement the exercise efforts made by the individual. The benefits of exercise cannot be fruitfully enjoyed if the food intake is not managed in a proper way.

    Exercise alone is not enough for weight reduction, though it is one of the factors to take care of oneself. Weight reduction must be a regular effort taking care of our food - curtailment. If the morning breakfast is heavy, we need to ensure that our lunch and dinner must not be heavy but at least half of items for the next two foods should contain raw vegetables of onion, cucumber and tomatoes. The inclusion of raw salads would reduce the carbohydrate intake in our meals. Care has to be taken to reduce the quantity of excess butter & ghee in the preparation of foods. Since weight gain is always followed by an excess intake of fats, it must be a regular effort to ensure its minimum intake.
    Again the exercise regime should be regular with the inclusion of brisk walking for at least 45 minutes in both morning and evening sessions.

    Sometimes their maybe some physiological disorder or underlying disease in which neither exercise nor controlling the food intake helps. In such a situation one has to seek expert medical advice.

    That is true. Exercise alone may not help us in reducing our weight. But it makes us stay fit. I am not an expert in Physiotherapy. But somewhere I heard that some exercises can bring down your weight. Yoga is another activity which will help us in many ways. It makes us stay fit both mentally and physically. Pranayama is one such very good activity that will make our minds fresh and create positive vibrations in our minds. Yoga is useful for reducing the weight. But we should follow the diet patterns recommended by our teacher who teaches us these Yoga Asanas.
    If we walk for 2 Kilometers, eat an ice cream and then come back home and take another sweet, our calories will not come down. So exercise combined with proper heating habits will only make us lose weight.
    These days many dieticians are advising different food patterns and when we follow them we are losing our weight. But once we give up that food recommended by the dietician, we may regain our weight.

    I have seen a case where the person did a good amount of exercise by walking and going to gym regularly but there was no change in his weight. He consulted a dietician who advised him to stop eating junk foods and take healthy foods in a controlled manner. In the beginning it was very difficult for the person to cope up because of his liking of oily and spicy foods but after some time as there was a progress in weight reduction he got the point and today he has been able in getting rid of a lot of extra weight and still trying to bring it down.
    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.
