 We
should not confuse excess of weight with obesity which
is a generalized excess of fat.
Certain ready-cooked food or low calories diet can allow a certain control of our eating. But if we really wishes to lose weight, we must make efforts.
Calories
which are not burned are stored in our body in the form of fat and it' s necessary " to spend " more calories than the intake quantity.
To make efforts, we have choice between many outdoor activities like bike, bicycle ,roller, walk ...
We can also practice a collective sport
or simply to make cardio-training
and fitness.
