You have beautiful run of kilometers and kilometers to lose a few centimeters at waist level, this may not be enough. This is the conclusion that draw more and more American scholars, like Herman Pontzer, professor of physical anthropology at the University of New York, which points primarily the calories absorbed.
According to a study published in the American scientific journal Current Biology, weight loss is not related to simple physical activity. They suggest that people who have great physical activity do not burn more calories than moderately active. Weight Loss Conroe is in fact mainly conditioned by what we eat and how much. What credence to bring such a study?
So someone with a lot of physical activity will eat more and therefore not unless, as stated in the study, in addition to physical activity, it happens to shrink, that is to say, eat less. Therefore, the combination of both, increased energy expenditure and food restriction which does not compensate for the excess energy loss results in these conditions to the intended objective, that is to say, weight loss.
How can one explain that the most active people do not burn more calories than those who are less so? Is there a risk in doing too much sport for the sole purpose of losing weight?
This is wrong. It burns more calories when you have more physical activity. What is true is that we proportionately burns very few calories in relation to physical activity. For example, to burn 100 calories, the equivalent of 5 pieces of sugar, you have to walk between 1 and 1.5 km. To clear a chocolate croissant and 300 calories, you have to then walk almost five kilometers.
Physical activity remains particularly beneficial to health. But do not go beyond its capabilities. For example, if a person overweight who has never done any sport suddenly decides to run 15 kilometers three times a week, she takes risks to his health. These risks are in addition to its initial overweight. We need to know adapt its physical exercises in its own capacity and not try to suddenly go from nothing to a strong physical activity for the sole purpose of losing weight, especially as this is not very effective.
Therefore, what is the right balance to be found for a weight loss between sport and nutritional effort?
Nutritional effort is essential, necessary and unavoidable. Without dietary restriction, it is totally impossible to lose weight. Meanwhile, the sport will be beneficial for several reasons. First, it will make build muscle, which will not be seen on the scale but on the silhouette. But when you want to lose weight, it is also often for the aesthetic side of things.
Sport also has loopholes virtues. Whoever wants to lose weight will think less room doing sports. Also, when doing sports and that one begins to play, we want to improve performance and to improve its performance, you often lose a little weight, which becomes a source of motivation.
Finally, increased physical activity reduces cardiovascular risks associated with overweight without necessarily acting on weight loss. That is to say that an obese person who has sustained physical activity, even without losing weight will reduce cardiovascular risk factors. Via sport, an obese individual will reduce its risks to achieve the same level that an individual in normal weight with no physical activity.
