Study: Exercise counteracts obesity

[LumbergTech]

You guys fail science forever...seriously. The point isn't whether exercise reduces obesity, the point of the study is to find out how MUCH it counteracts obesity when allowing for other factors such as genetics. Common sense might tell you that exercise is good, but it's not going to tell you that even if you're genetically predisposed to obesity, people can exercise to reduce that extra weight by 40%.

oh, no, its cool to hate on science

they already knew all this stuff intuitively and dont need anything proven because empiricism doesnt matter!!!!!!

Should I be shocked or merely amused at your stupidity? Apparently human DNA can overcome the first law of thermodynamics. All we need to do is harness the genes of fatassed Americans and we'll have a unlimited source of free energy!

I think you missed the point... Yes, if you burn more calories than you consume, you lose weight. But you can also lose weight or stay at the same weight even when consuming more calories than you burn

Talk about failure. Calories burned by different activities is a known quantity.

Assuming what efficiency?

There's this weird perception by the lay public that everyone is substantially the same. If that were the case then everyone who performs the same tasks and consumes the same number of calories gain or lose the same amount of weight.

Well, no. People aren't calorimeters. I know people who eat thousands of calories and don't gain weight. They are marathon runners either.

Then there are those who are closely supervised and eat 1000-1200 calories a day and gain weight. They're always hungry and they don't lose a gram. "The Book" says they ought to be thin as a rail and they aren't.

Weight loss is one of the most complex and frustrating medical problem there is. We don't really understand it from a scientific standpoint.

Never seen a fat marathon runner. Have you? PS they take in shit pot a calories.

Bullshit. run 7 miles a day at a 8-9min pace and get back to me after two months. continue eating anything you want.

Explain to me how I can consistently eat many more calories than I burn, yet not gain any weight. After only a year, I should be the size of an rhino, possibly an elephant.

It's Time magazine what did you expect

ectomorphism. doesnt change the fact anyone can loose via exercise. Your body will not allow lard with strenuous exercise every day. Every body system changes - endocrine, lymphatic, metabolic to shred the excess weight. Read runners world. There are testimony in there of fatties not changing diet whatsoever and becoming thin.

Reason the excuses reign is it's hard as fuck to do it. I'm almost 40 and it's murder every day to get out on track. I have 1 million and one excuses why I can't. Been there done that. I was 320 at one time so I have little patience for excuse makers and water bottle walkers.

Sounds to me like studies like this are extremely worthwhile.

Then clearly you're either not taking in as many calories as you think you are, or your basic metabolism consumes far more than the average person.

But when it comes down to it, it's still a matter of Input - Output = Weight Change. Just because the variables and ratios change from person to person doesn't invalidate the basic formula.
