[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to a nutritionist this week and she told that exercise doesn’t help lose weight. She said it’s all about limiting the calorie intake of food. True? Not true? What’s your experience? Btw, I’m only trying to lose a few pounds - through diet and exercise. [/quote]

I think you misheard the nutritionist. At least I hope you did, because if that's what they said you need to run away. What they probably said was that [b]exercise alone[/b], without a balanced intake of quality food, won't help you lose weight. The cliche line (that is 100% true) is that you can't outwork a bad diet. Weight loss is simple math; you lose weight when you burn more calories than you take in. Full stop. If you are eating 4000 calories a day of crap then working out and burning 500 isn't going to solve your problem. In a choice between not consuming 2000 calories of ice cream and potato chips, and eating those things but working out for an hour, the former is easily the better choice.

This isn't an "experience" or opinion question.
