Weight Control, Exercise
and Nutrition
Some people who want to lose
weight make the mistake of focusing exclusively on calorie-intake and
counting calories. Although keeping track of energy intake is vital, energy
expenditure is also important. So too is diet nutrition, because when
we maintain a healthy body and metabolism, we burn calories faster. In
short, if you want to lose weight, make sure you eat a healthy diet in
order to obtain all your necessary nutrients.
