Most experts say that for sustained weight loss, calories should be reduced in small amount and exercise should be increased but many people are unwilling to follow this route due to its slow results.

The study was published in March in The Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports. For the study, the researchers in Spain and Sweden selected 15 healthy but overweight Swedish men and restricted their calories to about 360 a day, which was a reduction of approximately 1,800 calories. 
They were given calories in liquid form: some men drank mostly sugary carbohydrates, others a high-protein drink. The men were also asked to undertake exercise regularly. 

They were made to do 45 minutes of cranking an arm-pedalling machine for an upper-body workout. Then they were asked to stroll for eight hours across the Swedish countryside, with only a 10-minute break every hour. 

During the walk, the participants were allowed a low-calorie, sports-type beverage.

Most of the men "were surprised that it was easier than they thought it would be," says Jos Calbet, a professor at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Spain; he and his colleague
Hans-Christer Holmberg, a professor at Mid Sweden University in Ostersund, led the study. 

Some of the subjects experienced "minor problems with pain in the joints" and blisters on their feet, according to Calbet, but none dropped out or complained of hunger.

After four days, the participants had each lost almost 11 pounds, with nearly half of that coming from body fat. "We thought they would overeat and regain the weight lost," Dr Calbet says.
