If you are of the school of thought that it is safer to be at a heavy weight longer than to lose weight faster....this thread is not for you. This is a snapshot thread that takes a 40 yr old male, 6'4, at 3 different weights and what the results over time are if he:
1. diets
2. exercises
3. diet and exercise
DIET ONLY
Beginning weight: 350
Daily activity: Light
Maintaining calories daily: 3800
Actual caloric intake: 2000
Daily caloric loss: 1800
Weekly caloric loss 12600
Monthly caloric/pounds loss 54000/14.2 pounds
Time to lose 50 pounds: 3.52 months
EXERCISE ONLY
Beginning weight: 350
Daily activity: Medium
Maintaining calories daily: 4400
Actual caloric intake: 4400
Calories burn 3 hours daily exercise: 3000
Daily caloric loss: 3000
Weekly caloric loss 21000
Monthly caloric/pounds loss 90000/23.7 pounds
Time to lose 50 pounds: 2.1 months
DIET AND EXERCISE
EXERCISE ONLY
Beginning weight: 350
Daily activity: Medium
Maintaining calories daily: 4400
Actual caloric intake: 2400
Calories burn 3 hours daily exercise: 3000
Daily caloric loss: 5000
Weekly caloric loss 35000
Monthly caloric/pounds loss 150000/39.47 pounds
Time to lose 50 pounds: 38 days
So you see the combination of diet and exercise with a dedicated daily workout program you can "lose" 50 pounds of fat rather quickly. Lets take a look going from 300 to 250 lbs.
DIET ONLY
Beginning weight: 300
Daily activity: Light
Maintaining calories daily: 3400
Actual caloric intake: 2000
Daily caloric loss: 1400
Weekly caloric loss 9800
Monthly caloric/pounds loss 42000/11.1 pounds
Time to lose 50 pounds: 4.5 months
EXERCISE ONLY
Beginning weight: 300
Daily activity: Medium
Maintaining calories daily: 3900
Actual caloric intake: 3900
Calories burn 3 hours daily exercise: 3000
Daily caloric loss: 3000
Weekly caloric loss 21000
Monthly caloric/pounds loss 90000/23.7 pounds
Time to lose 50 pounds: 2.1 months
DIET AND EXERCISE
EXERCISE ONLY
Beginning weight: 300
Daily activity: Medium
Maintaining calories daily: 3900
Actual caloric intake: 2400
Calories burn 3 hours daily exercise: 3000
Daily caloric loss: 4500
Weekly caloric loss 31500
Monthly caloric/pounds loss 135000/35.53 pounds
Time to lose 50 pounds: 42.2 days
Now our final snapshot going from 250 to 200 lbs. Depending on your bone structure this might not be possible or realistic. We do the number for the math.
DIET ONLY
Beginning weight: 250
Daily activity: Light
Maintaining calories daily: 3000
Actual caloric intake: 2000
Daily caloric loss: 1000
Weekly caloric loss 7000
Monthly caloric/pounds loss 30000/7.9 pounds
Time to lose 50 pounds: 6.2 months
EXERCISE ONLY
Beginning weight: 250
Daily activity: Medium
Maintaining calories daily: 3500
Actual caloric intake: 3500
Calories burn 3 hours daily exercise: 3000
Daily caloric loss: 3000
Weekly caloric loss 21000
Monthly caloric/pounds loss 90000/23.7 pounds
Time to lose 50 pounds: 2.1 months
DIET AND EXERCISE
EXERCISE ONLY
Beginning weight: 250
Daily activity: Medium
Maintaining calories daily: 3500
Actual caloric intake: 2400
Calories burn 3 hours daily exercise: 3000
Daily caloric loss: 4100
Weekly caloric loss 28700
Monthly caloric/pounds loss 123000/32.37 pounds
Time to lose 50 pounds: 48 days
CONCLUSION:
Dieting only becomes a less effective weight loss tool the closer you come to your ideal weight.
Exercise only programs based on calories burned are linear weight loss. Notes on this is the 3-hours stays at a constant weight loss because you become more proficient at your exercise of choice. A swimmer might swim a 60-minute mile at 350 pounds but swim a 30 minute mile at 250 pounds so calorie burn is linear if it is AEROBIC exercise. I am not a big fan of pushing weights for weight loss because reps are limited over time.
Diet and exercise together took ...in this example... from 350-200 in 128 days. Yeah yeah it is too fast to lose and not healthy and dangerous..blah blah blah...the point is the math works out and in practice it is the same.
1 pound of fat = 3800 not 3500. 3500 is a gross conceptional error.
