Prevent Weight Regain With Exercise

Exercise can help control weight regain after dieting by reducing appetite and burning fat before burning carbohydrates, according to a new study.

A new study has opined that exercise can help control weight regain after dieting. It helps reduce appetite and burns fat before burning carbohydrates.

According to researchers from the University of Colorado Denver, burning fat first and storing carbohydrates for use later in the day slows weight regain and may minimize overeating by inducing a feeling of fullness to the brain.

Improved Insulin Sensitivity Possible In Obese Even With Moderate Exercise
Chevy Chase, MD—A moderate aerobic exercise program, without weight loss, can improve insulin sensitivity in both lean and obese sedentary adolescents, according to a new study accepted

They insist that exercise prevents the increase in the number of fat cells that occurs during weight regain.

This discovery also challenges the conventional wisdom that the number of fat cells is set and cannot be altered by dietary or lifestyle changes.

These coordinated physiological changes in the brain and the body lower the 'defended' weight, that is, the weight that our physiology drives us to achieve, and suggest that the effects of exercise on these physiological processes may make it easier to stay on a diet.

Drinkers 'more Likely to Exercise Than Teetotallers'
Regular consumers of alcohol are more likely to engage in vigorous exercise than abstainers, a new study has found.

During the study, the researchers used obesity-prone rats. For the first 16 weeks, the rats ate a high-fat diet, as much as they wanted, and remained sedentary.

They were then placed on a diet. For the following two weeks, the animals ate a low-fat and low-calorie diet, losing about 14pct of their body weight.

Eating �Real Food� And Regular Exercise Can Help Improve Cardiac Risk Factors
A cardiologist suggests that weight loss achieved through regular exercise and a heart-healthy diet can help improve cardiac risk factors.

The rats maintained the weight loss by dieting for eight more weeks. Half the rats exercised regularly on a treadmill during this period while the other half remained sedentary.

The findings revealed that exercising rates regained less weight and burned more fat early in the day, and more carbohydrates later in the day.

Despite Widespread Obesity, Young Women Much Less Willing To Exercise Than Men
A new study by University of Michigan researchers has shown that young women in their '20s consistently exercise less than young men, despite mounting public health concerns about obesity.

It reduced drive to overeat and enhanced the ability to balance energy intake with energy expended.

The team will do further research to demonstrate that exercise is, indeed, preventing the formation of new fat cells early in relapse and not simply altering the size of pre-existing fat cells.

The study appears in American Journal of Physiology.
