Will skateboarding, biking, and standing for hours everyday help me lose weight?

Question

I’m trying to lose weight but I’m having a hard time sticking to a diet, and I just want to know if by skateboarding, biking, and standing a lot (due to my work) would let me lose some weight? I’m not overweight but I want to look good for school

Answer 1

The key to losing weight is simply to keep your caloric levels below maintenance. You can do that via exercise and nutrition.

I'd recommend finding a TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) calculator via a Google search to find your daily recommended calorie levels. If your goal is to lose weight, you would want to eat fewer calories than your body needs and burns.

Depending on what your personal goals are, a well-balanced diet that incorporates all of your macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.) and a balanced workout and exercise routine are going to help you lose weight. Exercise and physical activity will burn calories and eating more nutrient dense foods will keep your daily caloric intake levels low.

This can definitely aid in your weight loss! But to really lose the weight and keep it off, you must stick to a diet/ heathy eating plan! It sounds difficult, but really, it's not! I like to stick to the 80/20 rule. 80% of the foods you eat are nutrient dense foods. These are veggies, fruit, lean meats, nuts, legumes, etc. 20% are your splurge foods. (Any junk food you like). What I also do, is make sure that I am eating one veggie and two fruits with every meal! This may sound hard, but there are so many ways to easily incorporate these foods into your diet! I hope this helped!
