Exercise helps you to lose weight. I have used it on more than one occasion to burn fats and it's very efficient and effective. 

I sweat so much whenever I'm working out.

First we must define what exercise is. In its crudest sense exercise is the process by which sustained motion strengthens a specific set of muscles. There are multiple variations to this process whose end result is to allow the body to be more efficient in its physiological processes. Specifically to answer your question, unless you perform long hours of endurance exercises daily/weekly most weight will come from reduction in dietary intake. Those who perform daily calisthenics, for 20 minutes a day, lose very little weight. Diet will account for 80-90% of the weight loss. I wrote 2 books on dieting. In preparation for these books it became obvious in my research exercise is extremely important yet weight loss would be minimal compared to a good solid diet. Depending on your state of health a diet consisting of high protein with moderate carbs and low fat is one means to achieve your goals. Thank you for allowing me to answer your question.

Exercise can be an important component of a weight loss plan, as it can help to increase energy expenditure and burn calories. However, it is generally not possible to lose weight solely through exercise without also addressing diet.

It is possible to loose weight by only exercising or executing workout routines on aregualr basis. But this is only possible if such a person doesn't engage in an unhealthy eating habits. But then, most people who have weight or put on weight is because of an unhealthy eating habit which involves engaging in the consumption of non-balance diets and meals that store more calories that is not proportionate to the body.

Drawing from the above, I'd say that exercising alone will almost not guarantee a loss in weight. This is simply because workouts have the ability to help shed some calories which eventually leads to loosing weight. But it's of no use if you workout and continue to engage in an unbalance diet. It's like trying to quench a burning flame by using flammable substances. A good eating habit and exercise work hand in hand to make the process of loosing weight a possibility.

Yes, it is possible to lose weight with just exercising. As with any weight loss plan, it is important to make sure you are getting enough calories and nutrients to support your exercise routine and to ensure that you are not overtraining. Eating a balanced diet and focusing on high-intensity exercises such as running, swimming, cycling, and strength training can help you lose weight. Additionally, making sure you are getting enough rest and recovery between workouts is also important for optimal results.

Losing weight is something that has got to do with exercising and eating fine for one can not really get better without the other. I have seen people that will say that they are going to the gym house to keep fit and lose weight in the process, but when you come across them eating, you get to see that they are eating the type of food that you won't even want to eat since the food is junk and processed.

There is need for those that always want to use exercising to lose weight to as well understand the need for them to eat right as regards getting to take those foods that will help you lessen the fats while building muscles. This is where they always get it wrong by thinking that without the proper diet and nutrition, that they are going to achieve their fitness goals.

Yes of course, it's very possible that someone would be able to lose weight by only exercising or working out because any exercise or workouts which one carries out either on daily basis or weekly or monthly basis do help in burning out fat and calories.
Personally, I used to exercise a lot in order to help me and get rid of my excessive weight because too much of weight is a very big problem. With only working out alone, I was still able to reduce my calories and burn lots of fats, it's a very good way to losing weight.
Currently, I have upgraded on what I have to do in order to be able to lose my excess weight to the lowest possible limit by placing myself on diet. I only eat only one meal in a day and it's very helpful in my ways be getting me to lose weight.

I know about dieting but sometimes it becomes difficult to keep to the diet so I was thinking about exercising alone to lose weight.

Exercising along without tracking your diet is not good and won't be effective alone. If you want to loose weight by exercising means you need to burn more calories, than you consume or eat less calories each day. In order to be effective of loosing weight program, you have to be restrict with your diet. Don't focus on scale because they are just numbers, focus more on how do you  feel, when you feelgood when you exercise everyday that means, you are burning calories. The scale will follow later on , you maybe gain some muscles as some fats will become muscles, just like my cousin did. She was skinny and she want to gain weight by building up muscles. It will take a lot of patient and more perseverance to loose weight. Strick diet and discipline is necessary to win this game. Asif you battling to loose weight, then you can win the fight you aiming for.

I think the best bet as you have stated is losing weight gradually. I know it isn't with just exercising alone one might still  try out.

You can lose weight just by exercising but it is more effective with a healthy diet. Look at the analogy like this. Your current weight would be an aggregation of the food you eat, your daily activities, how much calories you burn and how much is left that turns into fat.

So if you start exercising, you'll find that you'll be burning additional calories than what you are normally used to if all things are equal. This means less calories to store. This might be a bit tricky if it only reduces how much fat is stored. It may not be burning already stored fat. Hence you may just be maintaining your current weight.

However if you add dieting, you can't go wrong. This means less calorie intake and still burning already stored fat. This is why most people seeking to lose weight are advised to have a regular exercise and diet plan.

It is possible to lose weight in working out alone but it would be better to accompany it with a proper diet to see the full effect. Eating healthy and nutritious food will help your body to grown more muscle than fat. In working out, you can tone up those muscles to look leaner. Diet will be responsible for 80% of the weight loss and 20% for working out.

I think we still need to consume food while doing exercises. If you do not eat well-balanced food, then what do exercises be burned.

No. Where there are others who just do a simple diet meal plan and do not do any regular exercise. Before I tried something vegetarian drink that will cleanse my body and why drinking it you need to eat strictly healthy meals according to their menu plan. I didn't do any exercise except regular walking. Exercise is only one part of the ways to lose weight but those toxins and unhealthy food that you ate are still in your body.

Losing weight through exercise alone is possible, but it can be challenging and often depends on various factors, including the intensity and duration of your workouts, your current weight, and your diet. Exercise can help create a calorie deficit, which is essential for weight loss. When you burn more calories through physical activity than you consume through your diet, you will lose weight.

However, it's important to remember that diet plays a significant role in weight management. If you consume a high-calorie diet while exercising, it can be difficult to create a sufficient calorie deficit solely through exercise. A combination of regular exercise and a balanced, calorie-controlled diet is often the most effective approach to achieving and maintaining weight loss in a healthy and sustainable manner.

Consulting with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian can help you create a personalized plan that suits your weight loss goals and individual needs.

While exercise is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle and can aid in weight loss, it is not typically sufficient on its own to achieve significant or sustainable weight loss. Weight loss primarily occurs when there is a calorie deficit, meaning you burn more calories than you consume. Exercise helps create this calorie deficit by burning calories and increasing metabolism, but it is also essential to consider dietary habits and overall lifestyle choices.

To effectively lose weight with exercise alone, you would need to engage in a significant amount of physical activity and maintain a balanced diet to support your energy needs and promote fat loss. However, relying solely on exercise for weight loss can be challenging for several reasons:

1. **Caloric Expenditure:** It can be difficult to create a large enough calorie deficit through exercise alone without significantly increasing the duration, intensity, or frequency of workouts, which may not be sustainable for everyone.

2. **Compensatory Eating:** Some individuals may unconsciously increase their food intake or make less healthy food choices after exercising, which can offset the calorie-burning benefits of physical activity.

3. **Metabolic Adaptation:** The body may adapt to increased physical activity over time by becoming more efficient at using energy, potentially reducing the calorie-burning effects of exercise.

4. **Risk of Injury:** Overtraining or engaging in high-impact exercises without proper rest and recovery can increase the risk of injury, which may hinder weight loss efforts.

5. **Stress and Cortisol Levels:** Intense or excessive exercise without adequate recovery can lead to elevated stress hormone levels, such as cortisol, which may contribute to weight retention or gain.

For these reasons, incorporating a combination of regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress management techniques is typically recommended for successful and sustainable weight loss. By focusing on both physical activity and dietary habits, you can create a healthy lifestyle that supports long-term weight management and overall well-being.
