Dietary restriction and increased physical activity in combination have generally been found to modestly improve weight loss compared with diet alone; however, overweight and obese individuals can lose large amounts of weight with dietary restriction alone The addition of physical activity (60–90 min)...
Increased physical activity lowers the risk of obesity, may favorably influence distribution of body weight, and confers a variety of health-related benefits even in the absence of weight loss. Physical activity is important for achieving proper energy balance, which is needed to prevent or reverse...
