How To Balance Diet And Exercise

Speaker: Is there a proper balance of diet in exercise?

Dr. William McCarthy: This again varies from individual to individual. It really depends upon lifestyle. For example, a person who is sedentary can't exercise or is very limited we really have to depend more on diet in order to get them down to the point where they can exercise. If a police officer or an athlete is trying to lose weight we can't restrict calories to such a great degree that they can't exercise anymore. So it's really a fine balance. What we tried to do eventually is to work toward that balance or a person is consistently losing weight by maintaining some form of an aerobic exercise on a nearly everyday basis and a resistant exercise at least three times a week. But we have to work toward that and so there is no specific ideal, but we have goals.
