Do you HAVE to exercise to lose weight????

Hi all!


     So, the ultimate question... Do you HAVE to exercise to lose weight??...

   Real answer... NO... Weight loss is about 80-90% what you eat and drink.

   You technically don't have to work out to lose weight. I wrote a post about calories that explains what a calorie is and how it works with your body http://fatfreevee.blogspot.com/2014/05/what-does-she-know-getting-started.html.

   In that post I state that in order to loose weight you have to do the following:  If you consume more calories (energy) than your body can burn off or use, it gets stored as FAT; You have to reduce how many calories you are consuming now so that it's less than the calories you burn... that way your body HAS to start burning the FAT it's storing for energy! 

    As long as the amount of calories you are eating or drinking in the day are less than the calories you burn, you will lose weight.

   BEFORE YOU START CELEBRATING, here are just a FEW of the reasons why you SHOULD definitely work out!

1. Paired with a healthy diet it will help you not only lose weight, maintain the weight loss, prevent weight gain or even help you achieve FASTER weight loss results.

2. Helps improves your chances of living longer

3. Helps you sleep better

4. Helps fight off symptoms of depression and anxiety

5. Helps prevent type 2 Diabetes

6. Helps to prevent some types of cancer

7. Helps prevent heart disease, high blood pressure

8. Helps prevent loss of bone

9. Helps improve circulation, which can lead to a better sex life

10. Gives you energy

11. Natural stress reliever

12. Helps improve your confidence

13. Helps improve your memory

14. Helps you look younger

15. Helps you boost your metabolism

   That's really just the TIP of the iceberg in the reasons why you should work out and why it is so important in your life! The key here people is better HEALTH and exercising is SUCH an important key to that!

   I wrote this post today because although I've LOST 140 pounds I still need motivation sometimes to get my exercise in, even though I know how amazing it is for you.
