But she didn’t call me back.
Also, here’s a silly useless (non political) fact for the day… TIME magazine states exercise might not be as beneficial for losing weight as you might think it is. As when you take an hour to burn 150 calories, you can easily get it back by just drinking soda. Also, exercise generally makes you hungrier, and they generally didn’t lose more weight than those who dieted instead.
lol. *sneeze*
& Yep, that’s true. What you eat matters more than how much you exercise (particularly sugars, including carbohydrates.)

Burning 150 calories in an hour isn’t exercising. Just shooting hoops burns over 300 calories an hour for most people (about 350 for me). An actual game will burn 500+ calories per hour.
If they claim that exercising isn’t exactly beneficial for losing weight, then can they explain why people who sit in front of their computer all day are more likely to be overweight that those who go out regularly?
The bottom line is you will need regular exercise no matter what.

Diet is still very important. If a person is exercising regularly, they might be able to eat more “junk” food (I’m including most carbohydrate-rich foods in this category due to their role in gaining weight, not just processed food and sugar) without gaining weight. Depending on what they are eating, however, it is still possible to exercise often and gain weight as fat rather than muscle.
If someone doesn’t exercise and eats the same foods, they will gain weight. But if they eat the right foods, that sedentary person would be able to get away with only a small amount of exercise (say, a walk around the block every day?) without gaining weight.
I don’t exercise much anymore and I don’t gain any weight. :/ Maybe it’s because I have extremely fast metabolism…

The thing this common belief ignores is that metabolism is related to muscle mass. The more muscle you have relative to your total weight, the higher your metabolism (of course, other things factor in, but muscle mass is directly related to metabolism). Guess how you build muscle? Excercise/working out.
D: I burn closer to 400 calories when I’m on the eliptical machine.
150 is like..a slow walk. D: Practically nothing. And besides, while exercising, you build muscle, which’ll burn more calories than if you hadn’t exercised at all.
