[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For everyone pointing to more walking/biking/exercise, what did you make of the fact that studies where kids got more exercise didn’t change the obesity rates in the test population?

SMH it’s astonishing how people absolutely refuse to review and absorb data on obesity. [/quote]

They don’t want to learn. They like being ignorant. [/quote]

NP, but to be fair, I personally think there's a difference between lifestyle (walking more to work, errands, etc.) and purposeful exercise. I live in the suburbs, never walk anywhere, but exercise very regularly. It does nothing for my weight. I do wonder all the time though that if I lived a more "walkable" lifestyle, if that would factor in. [/quote]

I don't know, I know lots of people who have lost substantial weight through diet and exercise.  And they have kept it off for years.  So it does work for some people.[/quote]

DCUM is always full of posters who are sure that there are many, many people who have kept substantial weight off for years, yet oddly the scientific studies about exactly this show very, very few people for whom that remains true. This has been extremely well-studied. And yet, posters insist that their lived experience is entirely different than what years of population studies show. It’s a fascinating disconnect. [/quote]
