From my reading, I have concluded that diet is key in the loss of
bodyfat. Not to dismiss the importance of exercise. It's important for
a number of reasons including burning calories, maintaining and/or
adding muscle and increasing overall metabolism.
There are a lot of diet issues including low fat vs low carb and
issues around diet composition, etc. Others can comment on that stuff.
I want to just direct you to an article written by Lyle McDonald on
the total calorie deficit that can be supported without losing lean
body mass.
It's called "Determining the Maximum Dietary Deficit for Fat Loss"
http://www.mindandm
Bottom line about 31 calories per pound of body fat. So a 200 lb
person at 15% BF (30 pounds fat) could cut about 930 calories from his
diet (in theory) without losing lean body mass.
There are plenty of caveats and "your mileage may vary" applies. It
seems like a good start though.
