| Eat whatever but burn every calorie
London, Jan 30: Eating less and exercising more are equally good at helping take off the pounds, US researchers said in a study that challenges many of the popular tenets of the multibillion dollar diet and fitness industry.

They found there is no way to selectively lose belly fat, for instance, or trim thighs. And their carefully controlled study added to evidence that adding muscle mass does not somehow boost metabolism and help dieters take off even more weight.
Its all about the calories, said Dr Eric Ravussin of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, part of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. So long as the energy deficit is the same, body weight, fat weight, and abdominal fat will all decrease in the same way.
