The best way to lose weight is through exercise. In order to shift the excess fat that we have stored in our bodies, it needs converting back into energy. In order for this to occur, there must be an energy deficiency which forces the body to turn to its store of fat for its supply of energy. In essence, this means that the body must be using more energy than it is taking in from food and the best way to do this without dieting or eating less is to exercise.
