Sports multiply or Reduce Eating to Lower Weight

Coca Cola gave about a million dollars for a new research organization stressed that lack of exercise is the biggest factor causing obesity than caloric intake. However, scientifically, the number of calories is still the main cause of weight gain in most people.

Although exercise does make people healthier, reducing calories also memaainkan important role in weight loss, kataa experts.

"There are a large number of studies showing that, from the perspective of the individual, the key is to reduce calories to lose weight over time," said Dr. Pieter Cohen, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. "The great thing is to add the sport, but said that the sport be the main solution of obesity .. it is not possible," said Cohen in Live Science.

Global Energy Balance Network (GEBN), a new non-profit organization, received 1.5 million dollars from Coca Cola late last year as assistance to launch the organization, according to The New York Times.

In a statement, Steven Blair, a professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina Arnold School of Public Health and a member GEBN, said that while the media only focus on "blame" fast food and a variety of sugary drinks to obesity problems, almost no convincing evidence , that is the real cause.

On its website, GEBN not deny that good health involves two things, either eating healthy foods and exercising. However, the website also said, that there is strong evidence to suggest it easier to maintain an active lifestyle rather than eating fewer calories.

In an editorial published in 2014, several members GEBN wrote that peningkayan physical activity are more likely to be achieved rather than reducing calorie intake to energy balance.

However, Cohen does not agree with that opinion. "Exercise programs usually have to do with hard, to produce weight loss," he said. One reason for the effect is, that exercise increases appetite, which will make a person to eat more.

Exercise also causes the body to build muscle more, which is certainly heavier than fat tissue. In addition, it will usually be easier to reduce calories than exercising in a certain level needed to burn calories, so to lose weight.

Even so, Cohen stressed that sport is indeed needed in weight loss programs. When a person is exercising, it will form more muscle, which can help increase the body's metabolism. "According to the researchers, the increased metabolism can help you lose weight," said Cohen.
