Have you ever heard someone say it's 80% nutrition, 20% exercise when they're talking about

0:06.0

weight loss? That's what we're going to dive into today. We are going to talk about which one's

0:11.4

more important, diet or exercise when it comes to fat loss. We're also going to dive into the question
