Hi I wanted to ask if you think I can lose weight by diet alone. Do you think I could do that or should I exercise too? My mom went on atkiins and lost 60 pounds then after the diet she put on 20 pounds. And I also found this diet that is really good it is called God's diet. It is where all you eat is natural things you know like fruit, vegetables, meat, and fish. No bread or ice cream and alot of other things. Do you think that is a good diet? And if you think that I should exercise too can you give me some tips?

you can definately lose weight by diet alone- the thing is- it'll go faster and there are a lot of benefits to exersize- but you can add that in later, i guess. when i don't exersize i lose 1 pound per week by dieting but i can lose 2 pounds when i add in exersize plus i feel better. well- good luck- i would try to at least exersize a tiny bit but if you can't then you can't i suppose...

if you diet alone you will lose weight but it will be in the form of muscle. If you diet and exercise you won't lose weight as quickly and you might put on a couple of pounds but you'll lose inches as muscle is heavier than fat but is denser, so you could lose 5 lbs and fit into size 8 jeans, or you could exercise everyday and put on 2 pounds from muscle but fit into size 6 jeans.
