12 WSW-Tribune I Saturday Ian 5, Question: Dear Dr. Susan, I weigh 190lbs and exercise diligently 3 times per week by waiking at a moderate pace for one full hour. I am now in my 4th month of exercise and have yet to lose any weight. What I am doing wrong? Answer: Many of my clients experience similar problems. Although exercise offers many health benefits; for the purpose of weight loss, it just isn't enough. In order to effectively lose weight, you must have a diet plan that incorporates the right combinations of nutrients to nourish and fuel your body. Here's why... Walking at a moderate pace for one full hour burns approximately 300 calories each time. Since you walk three times per week, your weekly exercise regimen only burns 900 calories. In order to lose one pound of body fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories! So, as you can see from the math, exercise alone is not the answer, unless you are prepared to walk 12 hours per week! And even that may not be enough if your diet is wrong. A typical hamburger and fries has approximately 1,000 calories. So, if you are eating these types of high calorie meals regularly, exercise alone will simply not get you the weight loss results you want. Having a nutrition plan that is based on nutrient-dense foods, correct ratios of carbohydrate, fats, and protein at your optimal calorie level is absolutely essential for successful weight loss. In addition, to calorie considerations, fluctuations in blood sugar levels along with other hormonal issues can also cause you to store body fat. Therefore, your diet should include a plan to properly minimize your daily blood sugar fluctuations while balancing specific hormones necessary to stimulate fat loss.
