[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are full of cute little aphorisms from your trainers and fitness magazines and it's dull as hell. There is no one-size-fits-all here. When I eat the same and I start running, I lose weight. My abs aren't "made in the kitchen" or whatever because when I just cut calories, I still have a soft stomach. Exercise makes you burn more calories throughout the day. Finding something you like, whether it's treadmill, weight lifting, pilates, walking, yoga, whatever, is the best thing because you will actually keep it up. [/quote]

I find you dull as hell. No one is saying not to exercise or that it doesn't burn calories, but for the vast majority of people fat loss will come mostly from calorie reduction through dietary changes. Your body will look better as you lose weight if you exercise and maintain muscle mass.

You see this on here all the time. The people who post about how they do X,Y, Z and exercise X hrs a week, do Y exercises and so forth. They often do this no mention of diet or claim they eat "healthy". Then complain they just can't lose weight no matter what they do and should they add in the trendy exercise of the year to lose weight.  Truth is it is often easier to add in exercise than change diet, be hungry, pass on the glass of wine and so forth. But in reality if you have significant weight to lose you need to reduce calories.

I have never known anyone who has lost significant weight through exercise alone. As you lose weight your body required fewer calories. Which would mean you then have to either reduce calories or continue to keep increasing exercise.
