[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always find it funny that the same people who quip about calories in/calories out are also the ones who say that exercise doesn’t help you lose weight. Guess it’s not simple thermodynamics after all. [/quote] That doesn’t seem controversial at all. It’s CICO, but [b]exercise leads to very, very few calories out,[/b] so it’s negligible for weight loss (but still good for you, OP! I’d rather be reading, too, and for me audiobooks help exercise feel more palatable).[/quote] That's just not true. When I do an extra hour of walking, I burn an extra 200ish calories a day. That's an extra 10-15%! A 3 mile run will burn 400ish calories for me. That's not negligible. What makes it negligible is if you say "I walked an hour today, I deserve that cookie." Light exercise will not alone make you lose weight, diet is way more important. [/quote]
