[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.
For years, I listened to the people who said you can’t outrun your fork. I believed diet was the key. I gave up my previous dedication to lifting and cardio because so many studies said diet was the thing to worry about and exercise didn’t really matter for weight loss. I started to gain weight but would be very discouraged about losing it because losing seemed so complicated. Exercise didn’t really matter... and then what should I eat?? Which diet?? Eventually I became frustrated, ceased all efforts and gained 20 pounds.

I’m now losing that weight slowly and successfully by exercising hard 5 days a week (weights, TRX, spin class); walking the dog for an hour each morning; and eating a lot more vegetables and lean protein/a lot less sugar and processed food.

I’m a 48 y.o. premenopausal female and am defying all of the DCUM negativity about how you have to follow a certain diet; exercise doesn’t matter; women in their 40s have a harder time losing weight...

I also have to say that the psychological benefit alone from working out hard has given me motivation to stop eating crap. I believe diet and exercise go hand in hand.[/quote]

So essentially you're saying that you stopped exercising but didn't create calorie deficit either? Of course you gained weight! :)

That doesn't prove excercise is more or even equally effective than diet for weightloss. [/quote]
