A couple of things I found interesting in the news...
From the Department of the Obvious a study done at the Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found that Fat Loss is better accomplished with Diet and Exercise together as opposed to doing either one by itself. They put over 400 people into 3 groups and found that...
The group that only did the exercises averaged a 2.4% loss off of their original weight... the average weight loss for that group was 4.4lbs.
The group that did the diet part only lost an average of 8.5% of their original body weight, or an average weight loss of 15.8 pounds for the group.
The Group that did both Diet & Exercise lost on average 10.8% off of their original body weight... and an average of 19.8lbs for that group.
You can see what a big part diet plays in weight loss, there was a big difference between the group that just exercised and the group that just dieted. But both together is definitely the best option.
The other item that I found interesting... they found a link between weight loss and improved cognitive skills and memory... I forgot where I read this so I can't provide a link... I better lose a few more pounds so I can remember... now where did I put that Snickers bar?
