Your metabolism refers to how many calories you burn during the day simply by living.
One of the problems with just eating less when you are trying to lose weight is that eating too little will simply lower your metabolism so that you will burn fewer calories during the day. This drastically decreases the effectiveness of lowering your caloric intake by eating less.
If you exercise you will burn calories while you exercise, but, even more importantly, your metabolism will increase and you will burn more calories throughout the day. This will make your diet much more effective.
There are two major types of exercise that are especially beneficial for weight loss, aerobic exercise and weight lifting.
Aerobic exercise is the most effective tool for weight loss. You burn calories while you are exercising, but you also burn calories afterwards because your metabolism remains raised for several days. Some examples of aerobic exercise include jogging, walking, biking, and swimming.
Weight lifting is also important for weight loss, but it is especially important for maintaining weight loss. Weight lifting burns calories while you are working out, but, more importantly, the added muscle that comes from weight lifting will increase your metabolism PERMANENTLY. Muscle will burn calories simply by being there. This makes it incredibly effective for maintaining weight loss. You can eat more food than before, but, if you have more muscle mass, you will burn more calories simply by living.

The costs of dealing with a growing obesity epidemic could bankrupt the National Health Service, doctors said on Friday.
Dealing with obese people costs as much as nine percent of a country’s health service budget, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal.
According to the most recent figures, Britain has the highest obesity rate in Europe, with one in five adults classed as obese. That could rise to one in three, said the study, written by Naveed Sattar, Professor of Metabolic Medicine at Glasgow University, and other colleagues.

Britain’s medicines cost watchdog has for the first time recommended weight-loss surgery for exceptionally obese children.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) said operations should be considered for obese young people who were past puberty and at risk of developing life-threatening diseases.
NICE also urged the National Health Service to consider surgery as a last resort to help save severely obese adults from diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure.

For patients with type 1 diabetes, obesity is an important risk factor for the development of diabetic kidney disease, reports a study in the January Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
“Our results suggest that weight control is important in type 1 diabetes and that overweight patients with type 1 diabetes may need further evaluation and treatment,” comments Dr. Ian H. de Boer of University of Washington, Seattle, lead author of the new study. “For these patients, lifestyle interventions such as exercise and diet may be useful in preventing kidney and heart disease.”
