Dont Just Diet – Exercise to Lose Weight, Too What you eat is only one part of the weight-loss equation. Diet alone might help you drop pounds, but youll have trouble keeping them off if you dont exercise. And thats not to mention the added benefits youll miss out on, from improved mood, to better sleep, to disease prevention. The exercise has to be there, says Jim White, a registered dietitian and personal trainer certified by the American College of Sports Medicine. Most experts recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, most or all days of the week. Typically, 30 minutes a day offers disease-prevention benefits, while 60 minutes helps with weight maintenance. Working out for 90 minutes a day helps on both fronts – and melts additional pounds. Regular exercise also cuts the risk of heart disease and diabetes, improves blood pressure and cholesterol levels, promotes better sleep, and builds healthy bones, muscles and joints.
