Although most people agree with the opinion of experts that a combination of healthy diet and regular exercise is key for losing weight, you should know that there are more ways of losing weight without the need to resort to unhealthy plans. Of course, leading a healthy and active lifestyle is important if you want to be able to lose a lot of weight without endangering your health.

Diet and Exercise Breakdown
Most people focus on some kind of training regime in order to lose weight and forget all about the importance of the diet. However, making healthy lifestyle choices is about 80% of the job, with the remaining 20% of weight loss coming from physical activity. If you want to lead a healthy lifestyle, you should change your diet and go vegetarian or vegan. Ketogenic and gluten-free diets work just as well as the popular Atkins diet, but if you really need to lose more pounds than the usual, you should also put in a lot of work in the gym.

Consistency Is Key for Exercise
Extreme workouts may help you lose weight, but the “Go Hard or Go Home” mentality isn’t always useful. In order to boost your metabolism and lose weight, you need to stay consistent with the training – this will help your muscles grow and bust all the fat on your body while keeping your health in check.

Don’t worry about the duration of the training – just stay consistent to your goals and the results will come. You don’t even need to hit the gym if you don’t have the time – in fact, you can use any physical activity including walking in order to reach your weight loss goals.

Although most people don’t consider it important for losing weight, walking can bust the fat on your body. Besides the weight loss, walking will also maintain your weight, improve your mood and the health of your joints and bones, meaning that it can do much more for you than just help you lose weight.
