Listen to me!!!
Which one is likely to help me lose a bit of weight? Too lazy to go out for a run when it's wet so thinking about getting one of the above. Over to NSC.
Neither, been chatting to bloke in pub tonight who swears by this 'fast for two days' diet. Basically eat what you want, then only have 600 calories on two days of the week. Weights dropping off him.
Surely you need to exercise though as well.
I've shed about 7 stone in a 2 year period and for me it's been a mixture of diet and exercise. There is an idea that buying some additional help in, such as a treadmill, will force the issue- it doesn't. In fact it can become a false comfort and make things worse.
Work out how many calories you are supposed to eat and eat a few less. Walk at good speed for an average of an hour a day. Only go over your calories at weekends. Drink only occasionally.
Worked for me anyway. Guess we are all different.
Apparently not, suppose it would depend on your lifstyle, if you work in a physically demanding job then no.

How do I know how many calories to keep to?
Worst.Advice.Ever.
Make a healthy balanced diet which you can enjoy for the whole month, this fad diet is terrible. Try interval training (google it), and remember the treadmill or bike isn't the only two options, you can do circuit training which will build a little bit of muscle and burn a lot of calories.
All my advice needs explaining, if you want more help leave a reply, but I'll say interval training has been scientifically proven to burn more calories than 'traditional' cardio. Adding a bit of muscle will ensure you burn more calories throughout the day too (muscles require more energy (calories) to maintain), and you won't look like a skinny mess once you lose weight.
As I said, reply for more info or drop me a PM.
