Is 3 miles of running every day and eating healthy enough to burn fat and lose weight?

Question

If so, how long will it take to see a difference?

Answer 1

Yes - you should see a difference within a week. Track your weight weekly, and when you notice yourself plateuing, or running feels too easy, mix it up with elliptical workouts, kickboxing classes, weight lifting.

Answer 2

It depends on calorie intake. If you burn 500 calories a day running 3 miles but then you eat 3000 calories that same day you won't lose weight

here are some basic tips and tricks to lose FAT.

try to eat less than 15% calories from fat of your total calorie intake in a day. You have to count calories to lose weight.. I'd say eat like 1400 calories a day in numerous small meals. 1200 calories if you really need to lose it but try not to get any less.
-5 or 6 small meals keeps your metabolsm running all througout the day.
-Try to make sure you don't eat to many carbs at once.
-If your a big fan of meats try eating White meat of chicken and turkey. Tuna is great if you like it. This will help you get protien but stay under the 15% calories from fat
-exercise in the morning if possible, your bodys more prone to exercise when your first wake up it's ready to burn calories but later in the day it can take a bit of mental preperation to start a workout.
-Also the very moment you wake up eat something because it kick starts your metabolsm and try to eat fairly soon after any exercise sessions.
Healthy weight loss is 2 lbs a week typically it can be done faster though and stilll be healthy but unless you have radical surgery or something don't expect much more than that.

Also NEVER EVER get less than 1200 calories in day what happens in this case is your body senses famine and so stops taking the nutrients from fat and starts getting nutrients from your muscles and thus your muscles lose mass and for each lb of muscle you lose that's 60 calories less a day your body burns. Not only that but the day you eat less 1200 calories you also burn no fat but burn off muscle instead.

Answer 3

Yes definitely you will lose fat when your running 3 miles everyday, immediately you can see the results however, you need to have a good gadgets to measure the fats that you've burnt.

However, its a matter of discipline to your self if you want to lose more weights
