How long does it take to lose weight from a single workout? My question is on a few different levels. Please feel free to be longwinded because I really want to learn about this. I've been losing weight over the last 2 months on diet alone. I've lost about 12 pounds this way. I understand how this works - you can lose weight by reducing caloric intake and changing the types of foods you eat. What I want to understand is how exercise makes you lose weight. I have the beginnnings of understanding on this - that you're burning calories with the exercise...like if you eat 1400 calories in a day and you burn 300 then your body only thinks you have eaten 1100, right? But then how do all those old calories come off? The ones from three months ago that made me gain weight? On the same vein, if i've only been losing weight with diet (steadily), and then i have one really good workout, when will it be reflected in my weight? I'm not saying I expect to lose all my weight with one workout, I'm trying to simplify the question.
