Will I see an improvement in strength if I exercise daily but I don't watch my diet?

[Belle11]

I exercise daily but I'm not motivated enough to diet. I eat quite healthy (almost no processed foods, a lot of fruits and vegetables etc) but my biggest problem is portion control and I have noticed that I am slowly but surely gaining weight. Will I see an improvement in my strength and endurance if I keep working out, or there's no use in doing it if I don't have a proper diet?

You need to eat to repair your body after exercise.

Gaining weight isn't necessarily bad--just depends whether it's fat or if it's muscle. Gaining muscle isn't a problem.

Just start tracking your body fat percentage. If your body fat percentage is at a level you like, your actual weight doesn't matter much, as long as you're getting stronger.

But yes, nutrition is quite important. 20% exercise, 80% nutrition is the saying.

Is your goal weight loss or strength gains? Strength gains come easiest when in a calorie surplus actually.

depends on how much you work out. the basic principle of loosing weight is to burn more calories than you consume.

However regardless of weight, your general fitness will increase.

You'll see an improvement in strenght but you probably won't lose weight if you want to.
