Exercise is Essential

The Diet Dropout’s Guide to Natural Weight Loss says that just about any diet will bring about weight loss. But in order to keep the weight off you must exercise regularly.

For basic health you need to do at least thirty minutes of moderate exercise, five or more days a week. However to maintain a healthy body weight it may be necessary to exercise for sixty minutes a day.

Aerobic exercise burns calories but you can get extra weight loss benefits by boosting your metabolism with strength training.
