In theory running should help you lose weight. This is because burning excess calories will help you to burn fat, and running is a great calorie burner. You need to burn an extra 3,500 calories to shed a single pound, so in theory you'll lose a pound for every additional 3,500 calories you burn off running.

Calorie Burn

The calorie burn from running will vary depending on your weight. A 160-pound person will burn 126 calories per mile. At that rate she'd have to log almost 27 miles of running to burn a pound of fat. The more you weigh, the higher your calorie burn will be. A 250-pound person will burn approximately 198 calories per mile, which means she'd have to run slightly less than 18 miles to lose a pound of fat.

The Reality

According to Eric Ravussin, an exercise researcher with Louisiana State University, "In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless." This is because while it burns off calories, it has another unintended effect: It increases your appetite. If you burn off 500 calories running, it won't do anything for you if you eat them back. In fact, you will gain weight if your increased appetite causes you to eat back more calories than you burned off.

The Solution

The solution to losing weight lies in controlling your calorie intake. The McKinley Health Center recommends creating a daily calorie deficit of between 500 and 1,000 calories by increasing your physical activity and decreasing your caloric intake. For instance, if you burn 500 calories per day running and reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories per day, you'll create a weekly calorie deficit of 7,000 -- equivalent to 2 pounds of fat.

Eat only healthy foods and exercising daily like running, cycling, swimming and also using a trampoline will help you to lose weight easily.

Great Explanation.

For healthy weight loss, you must make changes to your diet and exercise routine. Eat healthy, homemade food and perform a mix of strength training and aerobic exercises.

To maintain healthy body weight, increase your physical activity. If you have a sitting job, consider moving around whenever you can. Do exercises like jumping jacks, swimming, sit-ups, ab crunches, and leg raises. Along with that, also keep a count of how many calories you are eating per day. Don’t eat unhealthily.

According to research, exercise alone is insufficient to help people lose weight since our bodies eventually reach a point where doing additional exercise does not necessarily result in calorie reduction. The group is the most recent to express disapproval of strategies for preventing obesity that advocates increasing daily physical activity as a strategy for weight loss.
