It’s the current hot fad conversation for the the fitness magazines and has even been on the national news networks. They are saying that diet is better for your to accomplish certain things and exercise is better for other things. Before we really get going, it’s important to know that one may be more effective than the other on certain things, but you will always need both to accomplish your goals.
With that said, let’s take a look at some different aspects of health and see how diet and your exercise routines fit into each one. While you will probably roll your eyes, I really want you to understand that you need both to hit your goals… one will not just do.
Losing Weight – This is the one goal that almost every person is really going for. In this case, if you want a faster impact then diet is quicker than exercise to help you lose weight. When you consume less calories consistently, you will find that your body will drop body fat very fast, at least faster than exercise. However, exercise is vital to your health because if you don’t do that then you will, overtime, lose muscle mass and that will lead to a lower metabolism.
Your Body Energy – The energy that you bring to your activities is really important. I guess that I would have to give the slight advantage to exercise. Exercise allows you to very quickly boost your metabolism, but remember that you need the right diet to support that or it won’t happen. So in this case you really can’t have one without the other… actually you can never have one without the other.
Happiness – Being happy is one of the best benefits of exercise and in this case I will give exercise the upper hand. Exercise makes you happy because you accomplish something and when you see results, you feel wonderful. However, keep in mind that when you eat really healthy, you feel great too because you have that sense of accomplishment and knowing that you are doing something good for your body.
As you can tell, both are super important and both definitely feed off each other to help provide the best results from your workout plans. It’s not about one of the other… it’s about both!
