Exercise is great for our physical health and state of mind, and for preventing weight gain in the first place, but it has a disappointingly small effect on weight loss.
When it comes to shedding pounds, it is what and how much we eat that counts most.
The role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly overstated.
Exercise isn't necessarily helping us lose weight.
Many recent studies have found that exercise isn't as important in helping people lose weight.
The answer is yes. Physical activity (unless done vigorously like a professional athlete) is a minor component to the economy of weight loss. The critical component is how much you consume.
Exercise may be one of the best things you can do for your health but weight loss can be achieved without exercise.
