I know you have to eat a balanced diet to lose weight, but is it at all possible to lose weight by eating whatever you want in MODERATION and workout 3-4 times a week. walking on the treadmill at different speeds and incline
i've heard you can, but i have also heard that you cannot. I would just like to get the facts :)
Serious answers only please :

In order to lose 1 lb, you must burn 3500 calories more than you take in. Conversely, in order to gain a lb, you must take in 3500 more calories than you burn. As long as you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. It doesn't matter where those calories come from...but of course, a balanced diet is the best way.

It all depends on what "moderation" means to you. You could probably get away with eating whatever you would like as long as you go by the "fist sized" portion meals. and eating six meals a day. Checkout bodyforlife.com, it should give you some insight

yes.. everything in moderation.. as long as u do not go over your caloric allowance... moderation
