text: is jogging a good way to lose weight? please read the details? i'm trying to lose weight and the only exercise i would prefer for the time being is jogging( maybe i'll buy a bike next month too ). also,i have a hard time dieting, especially keeping my hands off chocolate. would jogging alone help?? please,i really need an honest answer,maybe from someone who has experienced this.maybe you also have some tips on jogging too.thank you all who answer. jogging is one of the best things you can do to lose weight. if you are doing it along with healthy eating then you will do fine. just make sure you eat enough, because you'll need plenty of energy to jog. porridge for breakfast is perfect as it fills you up til lunch and provides good energy for running. eat plenty of bananas too. just don't skip meals as this will not help you lose weight at all. i would start off going out for 15 mins at a time, see how you feel and then the next week, increase it by 5-10 mins. you will get fitter and fitter. just start off steady.
