It depend what your goal question is. You can exercise all you want, but if you don't have a calorie deficit, weight loss won't occur.0 -

^^this, couldnt have said it better0 -
Your major weight loss is going to come from eating at a deficit. You can create some of that deficit with exercise but you'll never correct a bad diet with exercise.0

0% Nutrition
0% Exercise
100% Calorie Deficit
If you think differently, you're in for a lot of heartbreak.
Nutrition and exercise are fine if you want to be healthy or active or whatever, but they are NOT the key to losing weight. I don't eat "healthy" and I don't exercise, but I'm two pounds away from my goal weight. If nutrition and exercise were necessary for weight loss, I would not be losing weight. I eat fast food and prepackaged foods ALL THE TIME. I don't exercise AT ALL.
IT. IS. ALL. ABOUT. THE. CALORIES. PERIOD.0 -

Have to say I agree! I count calories like a Mad Man and exercise 4-5 times a week but when it comes down to it, you have to eat healthy (for the most part). When I first started my routine almost 2 years ago, my sister (whom has been a fitness buff her entire life) told me that would make the biggest difference, eating!0 -
Both nutrition and exercise depend on willpower and discipline.0

Nope-for me it was 100% about restricting calories. I didn't start any sort of exercising (walking) until I went into maintenance.0 -
Both nutrition and exercise depend on willpower and discipline.
And that's why I dispensed with both when I decided to lose weight. I ain't got time for that. :drinker:0 -
Just like anything else it probably differs for everyone. For me I believe that the majority of my weight loss has come on account of tracking what goes in my mouth. I did start out just walking for exercise and have gradually started back at the gym. I also have done quite a bit more golfing without using a cart. I figure lugging a bag of clubs for 2-3 hours accounts for something and my game is actually improving. So it's fun and i look forward to it. But to tone up what I have left I need to go to the gym and lower my body fat and BMI more then I already have. So it probably differs for everyone depending at what stage they are in their weight loss. Just my opinion. :bigsmile:0

Ditto.
In fact the exercise by itself usually has body improvements as effect, and that is weight gain if diet allows.0 -
Weight loss is 70% nutrition and 30% exercise. Do you agree? If not, why?
It depends on the person. For me it's 55% exercise and 45% nutrition. This is because without the exercise I do, TDEE drops and therefore my caloric deficit drops, because the deficit is a %age of TDEE.0 -

I neither disagree or agree. It depends what the percentages mean. Effort? Then for me, personally, it's about 90% exercise and 10% diet/nutrition.
A calories deficit is needed for weight loss. When I exercise, I find eating to lose or maintain pretty easy most of the time. Without it, well, without it I get fat.0 -
It's not about nutrition or exercise.
It's 100% about how well you've integrated it on your Vision Board.0 -

100% about the calorie deficit, I don't get much exercise, I enjoy a drink and I eat processed foods when I feel like some processed foods and nearly 100 days in it seems to be working0

Weight loss doesn't occur from exercise but from nutrition/calories.
For optimum health. Put 100% of your efforts towards both.0 -

And if you don't have 100% effort to start with, and if you really just want to lose weight, just count calories, ACCURATELY, and stay below 80% of your TDEE calorie total. Profit. You can always do that optimum health stuff after you lose weight, those gyms aren't going anywhere. :drinker:0 -
I disagree. I think it's 100% calorie deficit.0

Great responses! Thank you! Keep it coming!

for weight loss/gain: calories in vs out
for general fitness: exercise
for strength: exercise
for endurance: exercise
Trying to pin it down to some specific % is pointless.
They should be used in combination to achieve your goals (whatever they may be).0 -
Has anyone tried Plexus?0

I had two workouts today, so I could enjoy a 1400 calorie breakfast and a 1200 calorie dinner. Oh and a huge poppy seed muffin.
Calorie Deficit below TDEE = Weight Loss0 -
Has anyone tried Plexus?
Have to admit, I had never heard of it so I went googling. After getting several statements like these:
"Plexus Slim website no longer lists the ingredients for their product on the website."
"Natural way to lose weight by burning fat and not muscle."
"It is a completely natural dietary supplement which places itself in the company of very powerful chemical options."
"You can expect to see quick and dramatic change within your body, shedding pounds at a rate you can really appreciate."
I was very skeptical. Then, I read that it is an MLM product. Ugh. Should have stopped reading at that point. But then I found that Australia had banned this product because:
"They contain the undeclared banned chemical 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA)"
Not interested.0 -
I was only just overweight according to my BMI and terribly unfit. So for me I needed to address both. My diet was already healthy (various medical conditions take care of that), I just ate too much of it.
For me it has been about 80% diet and watching what I eat. The other 20% is fitness and walking at least twice a week and water aerobics once and generally move more throughout the day like parking further away and taking the stairs. Did I need to do that to lose weight? No, but a year ago I was 2 pounds lighter then I am now and my waist was 2 inches larger in diameter and my hips were 1.5 inches larger. I am happier this way :-)0 -
