So far, sports always been associated with weight loss. But according to a recent study that sport was no effect on weight reduction.
As we know that exercise burns calories, which is very important for weight reduction. The problem is, after exercise, we will feel hungry and to overcome it we'll eat. If we exercise, but the food consumed more certainly will not cause weight reduction effect.
The issue is not on the selection of food but how exercise triggers hunger. That hunger triggers a person to consume more calories.
Then the question whether the exercise is needed in the process of weight loss?
The answer was quite surprising. According to the writings of medical writer at Time magazine, John Cloud, on a comparative study of female weight, women with excess weight who exercise compared with women who do not exercise, weight is not much different.
The study involved four women, three women doing sports with different types of didamping personal trainer for six months. Then, one woman only keep the food and not exercising, the result is their weight is not much different.
Other studies also menunjukkann such case. Gary Taubes, author of "Good Calories, Bad Calories" to jump to conclusions similar to those comparative studies. Sports are important for maintaining health but not to lose weight. To maintain a stable weight that can be done with exercise but not to lose weight.
Cloud revealed by the fact that sports does not mean that benefits are excluded. Sports remains necessary for the health effect is not only significant enough to lose weight.

Fats In Food Not Influence Weight Gain
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - People who want to maintain a healthy weight does not need to obsess about the consumption of fat in their diet, according to new research.
The percentage of calories derived from fat person, the opposite with protein and carbohydrates, do not have a relationship with their body weight a few years ahead, said the research team.
Type of fat they consume do not affect anything, so the findings of Dr Nita Forouhi Institute of Metabolic Science, Addenbrooke Hospital, Cambridge, England, and colleagues.
Findings, Forouhi said in an e-mail to Reuters Health, show that "more important to focus on lifestyle including healthy foods and healthy physical activity regularly, rather than concentrating only on fat consumption as a weight enhancer factor".
Role of foods that contain fat in obesity and weight gain is still a debate, said Forouhi and his team. In order to investigate the problem, they examined data on almost 90,000 men and women from six different countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Study.
The development of all participants followed for 10 tahun.Rata average fat consumption ranged from 31.5 percent to 36.5 percent of the total number of calories. On average, the weight increased a quarter pounds each year.
Analysis that takes into account several factors not found an association between weight gain in the amount of fat they consume, or their consumption of polyunsaturated fat versus saturated fat.
These findings should not be viewed as showing that people can eat as much fat they want, Forouhi said.
"That's absurd, considering a lot of evidence already exists about the potential dangers of many foods high in saturated fats and trans fats for heart health, for example," the researchers said.
In the U.S., he says, advice on food stipulates that people should keep fat consumption, which is as much as 25 percent to 35 percent of calories, and eat fat "healthy" from fish, nuts, and vegetable oils instead of trans fats and saturated fat "unhealthy".
He added, "the healthiest way to avoid weight gain is to ensure that, when the time is right, the calories consumption is limited by reducing one's consumption of added sugar, fats, and alcohol, which all provide calories do not contain little or no basic nutrition.
The goal is to oversee the food portion sizes (so that the portion sizes of food consumed was increased from time to time), and at the same time people doing regular physical activity. (*)
