Exercise is a MUST While on Diet

Many studies have shown that while dieting alone is effective in reducing overall weight, following a good exercise program such as the one presented in chapters 12 and 13 makes your body even more efficient at losing fat, especially during the first month of your fat-reducing program.
Ten minutes of exercise is approximately equal to 100 calories burned. The basic four-week Fat-Burning Metabolic Fitness Exercise Plan calls for 300 minutes of exercise per week, resulting in about 3,000 calories
burned from physical energy expenditure alone. So, by exercise alone, you will be losing close to one pound of fat per week. The added benefit is that the program is designed so that you are exponentially increasing your
metabolic rate. So, you are losing fat on three fronts: from the food plan, from the exercise plan, and from a metabolic boost.
