I'm doing a combination of both, so it's difficult to say from personal experience, but on days when I eat more than I should I balance it with extra steps and it seems to work. I have, however, read quite a bit lately about how exercise alone as a weight loss strategy seems to be overrated. I suspect that if weight loss is the only consideration, diet should be the major concern. My goal, of course, is both weight loss and overall fitness. I'm not looking to be majorly ripped and buff, but I would like to be known as a spry old man.
