Is it possible to lose weight without exercising?

Eating a healthy diet does not ensure that you will lose weight. Your weight is a balance between the calories you take in and the calories you burn. You will lose weight if you eat a low-calorie diet in which you burn off more calories than you take in, and you will gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn off. Adding physical activity allows you to burn more calories than dieting alone.

Any weight-loss plan that includes regular exercise is not only more successful — it's also healthier. By eating a healthy diet and exercising, you're keeping your bones, muscles, and heart strong and decreasing your risk of developing some diseases. Even if you don't necessarily lose weight, you will be healthier and you will feel and look better too.

(OR)

How long does it take to see results?

People get results at a different paces, so it’s nearly impossible to guarantee results to a client. But a con artist will make promises that sound too good to be true just to make a sale. It’s hard to say for sure because every person is different but generally our clients lose an average of 5-10 Kgs in a three-month period. It really just depends on their body composition and how much effort they put into the program.

When you start a new exercise program and are consistent with the workouts done, typically report improvements in sleep, mood, and energy levels. Changes in body composition often take longer to notice; the more consistent you are with your workouts and with healthy nutrition the more results will become noticeable (to you and to others too!).

Weight training helps to stimulate the metabolism (so that you become a fat-burning machine), change the “composition” of your body, and bring about the shape and contours. At least 3-5 days per week lifting weights and 4-5 performing cardio – preferably first thing in the morning or right after resistance training.
