How is exercising better than dieting and surgery when it comes to being fit and healthy and losing weight?

Question by Lindsay: How is exercising better than dieting and surgery when it comes to being fit and healthy and losing weight?
What are the advantages does exercising have that dieting and surgery or pills don’t have?

Best answer:

Answer by Escher
Pills don’t work.
Surgery doesn’t address the underlying problems, such as poor diet and lack of exercise.
Gimmick diets generally don’t work, and are just a way to make your wallet thinner, not your waist line.

Dieting can be done without doing exercise, but exercise improves your stamina and strength. Weight training can improve your posture, reduce the chance of pulling muscles, and it makes you strong. Cardio exercise increases the health of your heart, and increases your endurance. It also means you can eat a bit more food when you are dieting, plus nice muscle development makes you look good, and increases your confidence.

Question by meanersbeaners: What are some good dieting changes for a toddler who may have ADHD?
My son is almost three and could possibly have ADHD. I don’t want him medicated as I don’t think it’s serious enough unless the doctors thinks so but I have heard several comments about making diet changes for your child to help with the disorder. What do they mean dieting changes? What is a good diet for a toddler to be on?

Answer by ajtheactress
From about the end of WW2 which strangely enough, coincides with the raise in “obesity” aka “da fat!!!”.

Dieting does not work.
Fat is a feature not a fault.

To loose weight, you don’t necessarily need to diet, but to watch what you eat. the healthiest way to loose weight would be to burn more calories then you take in. this does not mean starve yourself, but work out regularly. try running. Good luck :D

What percent of girls who start dieting at 13 end up with eating disorders?

Question by SAND·n·SUN: What percent of girls who start dieting at 13 end up with eating disorders?
I know a girl who has been dieting since she was 13 and still is (she’s probably around 15 now). What are the chances of her getting an eating disorder? I’ve heard that like 86% of girls who diet at that age end up with one, is that true? What statistics do you have/know? I really would like to warn her parents, especially since they see nothing wrong with her behavior. I’m not sure if she’s throwing up in a bathroom or anything like that, but she definately is watching what she is eating, eating foods marked “low carb”, keeping track of how many pounds she has lost, and exercises for the benefit of weight loss. Also looks like she could use a vitamin if you know what I mean..
Thanks to all who help.
