Some say that \u201cabs are made in the kitchen\u201d and that\nyou cannot exercise your way out of bad eating habits. Others say that movement\nis what\u2019s needed to sustain overall weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While\nboth may be true, there is some new emerging information on the fitness side of\nthe debate that is worth considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a new <a href=\"https:\/\/drexel.edu\/coas\/academics\/departments-centers\/well-center\/\">study <\/a>by the Center for Weight,\nEating, and Lifestyle Science at Drexel University, doing your part to get into\na regular fitness routine can help you with the nutrition and diet side of weight\nloss. Specifically when it comes to portion control and consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nstudy found that people who work out are more likely to stick to a nutrition\nplan they put in place instead of forgoing it over time and reverting back to\nold habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nkey takeaway from the study is that in addition to the nutritional benefits of\neating the right kinds of foods, there is evidence that movement and living an\noverall healthy lifestyle will help someone with actually staying mentally\nfocused and on track throughout their weight loss journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another\ninteresting fact that the study uncovered is a correlation between working out\nmoderately instead of intensely. Those who were pushing their bodies to the\nextreme naturally develop bigger appetites. If you want to keep up with portion\ncontrol and sustain meal plans finding a nice middle ground and balance is key.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now\nthat we&#8217;re all spending more time at home and indoors it\u2019s especially important\nto consider revamping your family&#8217;s daily nutrition habits.
