Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 2007losing weight without exercising?
The good news is that I'm exercising again (finally) and am losing weight (how do I know? People are saying, "You look thinner"). The "bad" news is that wife is due to give birth in early August. This is bad because that throws my five-day-per-week workout schedule right out the window. I have to say that regardless of diet, I've never been able to lose weight without exercise. Part of that is my job, which is completely and utterly sedentary. Has anyone been able to lose weight without exercise? If so, how'd you do it? I do note that I'm going to try to continue to workout after the baby is born. However, I have no idea (as this is my first child) as to how much I'll be able to workout.

I've lost weight while getting virtually no exercise by sticking to the diet, and I've maintained or gained weight while getting large amounts of exercise, because I was cheating on the diet at the time. Keep your carbs low enough that your insulin production stays low and your glucagon production stays high, and you should lose weight. Maybe not as fast as you were when you were working out regularly, but then again, you might be surprised. (Standard disclaimer: exercise is good, all hail exercise, blah blah blah....)

I lost 50lbs doing low carb (Atkins) and never exercised. It took me about 9 months. Randy http://picasaweb.google.com/crmartin1 I can't lose weight too if I don't exercise or be active. The alternative is to eat lesser which I am not willing. So eating well and exercising is a good combination. All I do to lose weight is to walk moderately briskly (4 miles per hour) every weekday for 1/2 to 1 hour while on my Low Carb, Low Fat, High Fibre, High Protein.

I've always exercised to some extent during times when I've lost weight. Mostly rather moderately. Right now I'm doing almost exactly what you do - I walk for a half-hour or so on the trails in my local park. Relaxing and it seems to help. I also think it's good to do some resistance exercise. Nothing major, just something to work the major mucle groups a couple times a week. I have some equipment, so I'll use my TotalGym or dumbbells. Or sometimes a video. I try to do some yoga/stretching regularly, too. It all works together to help, I think. Oddly, I've noticed that during periods where I've exercised more heavily (all day hiking in the mountains, long-distance cycling in the hills) I haven't lost weight. Not sure why, but there it is. HG :: Oddly, I've noticed that during periods where I've exercised more :: heavily (all day hiking in the mountains, long-distance cycling in :: the hills) I haven't lost weight. Not sure why, but there it is. IMO, heavy exercise does not promote weight loss because the body demands lots of energy input in order to sustain it. It's hard to balance output against intake and you need to be very aware of the kinds of foods you're eating vs the kinds of activity you're doing. IMO, for weight loss, moderate exercise is far, far better. That way, one can better balance intake against output. For me, long-distance cycling is hills is for fun (pain is fun, btw)! |
