Your diet is what you eat. You are already on a diet. What are you really trying to ask?

The word diet has been used wrong for a long time. If people are fat they do not need to go on a diet, they need to change the way they eat. If you are eating **** food, you need to change the way you eat.

I totally agree. I changed my "way of eating" at the end of 2011. It was a permanent change, not a temporary "diet."

Diet is more important than exercise in my opinion. It is critical.

The old joke..take the first 3 letters in the word diet. People should develop nutritious eating habits, rather than going on the latest diet.

If you had to choose between the two, nutritious eating is probably more critical than exercise, but in reality they are complimentary. Problem is either people don't exercise enough or not intensly enough. You're not going to see major results by just using the elliptical for 30 minutes. You need weightlifting, strengthening/flexibility (yoga and pilates are excellent), pushups, planking, squat, and find a cardio you enjoy in order to see real results from working out.

Considering that losing weight is 70% diet, 20% exercise and 10% heredity, yes it is necessary.

Also try eating a lot of crap and then working out and see how far you get as opposed to eating healthy and then trying.

It makes a huge difference, and it goes hand in hand with exercise for a legit reason. Because you need both to get healthy.
