For weight loss it is necessary to do both. Neither will be as effective without the other.
both.
although i think your diet is slightly more important.
Obviously, for optimal weight loss you need both but most professionals will tell you that diet plays the most important role.
I would say diet but you really need both to lose weight in a reasonable amount of time. It also adds to your health.
Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

They are both equally important. Exercise is essential to keep your bones and joints healthy, as well as metabolism, energy and overall health. Just the same, your diet will control your immune system, your metabolism, your weight, your energy, even your ability to sleep (as does exercise). One goes with the other.
diet deff.
Diet is about 85% of it and exercise is the other 15%
You want to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight, which can be done by
A) Eating less
B) Exercising to burn more calories
C) A combination of A and B
Diet is EVERYTHING for weight loss, you can workout all day long but if your diet is bad you won’t lose weight.
Conversley if you eat healthy and in a caloric deficit, but don’t work out you can still lose weight.
exercise.
WORK
there both equal, you need exercise to burn calories, and get your heart working better, and you need a healthy diet to keep it that way, one can not succed without the other
I think weight loss and fitness always boil down to 2 things: 1) Metabolism and 2) Nutrition.
Metabolism: You worked to expend the excess calories so that they do not turn into fats. To do that, either you create a calories deficit or you increase your calories usage.
For most cutting calories (aka reduce portion size) is easier but not everyone can withstand the hunger pangs. That’s when a hoodia gordonii supplement can be useful as it make your brain think you are full so that you won’t feel lethargic or cranky.
For those who prefer to exercise, you should focus on weight training and high intensity interval training like wind sprinting. Forget about cardio.
Nutrition: First thing is to get the habit of reading labels. If you see anything that says high fructose corn syrup, trans fat, hydrogenated or partial hydrogenated oil, put it back.
Next understand that you need to eat a balance meal, and not follow a fad diet. One that contains carbohydrates, protein and fat.
Opt for unprocessed carbs and when possible, it’s better to take fruits (not fruit juice) and vegetables. Technically speaking, fruit and vegetables are less calories dense. Good for losing weight.
Get your plant protein from beans, legumes, and nuts, while animal protein, eat free-range and/or organic meats.
Get this straight, we need fat. And the right kind of fats would make you fat. What we need is natural fats from fishes like salmon and tout or fruits like avocado.
When you need oil, use coconut oils and pure virgin olive oils.
By the way, for the ladies and gentlemen out there, avoid soy based products and beer.
Guys, soy and beer (contains estrogenic compounds) cause fats to accumulate on your chest. So unless you are interest to grow boobs continue eating.
Ladies, one of the reasons why your stubborn belly fat never go away could be due to your high intake of soy based product and beer.
Oops, I blah too much on a blog post! That’s it.
