    My mom followed their diet plans for years and never lost any weight. But at the same time, she didn’t exercise. Diet alone isn’t enough unless you’re doing one of those extremely calorie restrictive diets and I really don’t think that it’s exactly healthy to starve yourself. You’d be losing muscle as well as fat.

      Losing weight is almost entirely about diet. Exercise plays only a minimal role in that. It’s far easier to not eat something than to burn off those same calories through working out. That’s not to say exercise isn’t important - it is - but you do it for reasons other than weight loss.
