Stop dieting and focus on exercising to lose weight!

If you are trying to lose weight, better concentrate on not missing your exercise schedule rather than skipping your meal, suggests new research.

‘We aimed to tease out what effects on adipose, or fat tissue, were due to weight loss from diet, and what could be attributed to exercise,’ she added. The team divided young rats prone to obesity into three groups to study the impact of exercise on their metabolic function and fat tissue. All of them were fed a high-fat diet. Two of the groups were sedentary while the third group was able to exercise using running wheels. The findings showed that the exercising rats were metabolically healthier than the sedentary groups and they developed different gut microbes than the other groups, despite eating the exact same amount of food. ‘Overall, the exercising rats had higher metabolic rates, were more active even when not running on their wheels and experienced shifts in their gut microbes, perhaps putting them in a better position to avoid future weight gain compared to the other groups,’ Vieira-Potter pointed out.
