Why Doesn't Exercise Lead To Weight Loss?
antdude writes "The New York Times' Well blog reports that 'for some time, researchers have been finding that people who exercise don't necessarily lose weight.' A study published online in September 2009 in The British Journal of Sports Medicine was the latest to report apparently disappointing slimming results. In the study, 58 obese people completed 12 weeks of supervised aerobic training without changing their diets. The group lost an average of a little more than seven pounds, and many lost barely half that. How can that be?"
Just to be clear though .. did you mean eating as much AS the villagers, or the villagers themselves?
You sound fat.
Dumbass. 2lbs of muscle weighs more than 2lbs of fat.
It's called "density", you know, dense...
Oh, wait, maybe you're already quite familiar with it...
Show me a overweight Olympic level marathon runner, and I might believe it.
Me thinks you have cause and effect mixed up here. People are Olympic runners because they have a body that's optimal for it, not vice versa.
Wait a minute...
Let me get this straight. You're saying that doing lots of high jumps won't make me 7 feet tall?
I stole this Sig
OK, so how do we double our brain size?

I go outside on a 5deg day in nothing more than a sweater and a top hat. I routinely mock my friends
You're going out in the freezing cold wearing a top hat and no pants and you're the one doing the mocking? Put your monocle in sir and take a good look at yourself!

This is not a fair comparison. You burn significantly more calories, since you're constantly running from police trying to arrest you for indecent exposure.

I have a lapband and found that it cut down my hunger quite a lot after, these days when i eat and im full i dont feel hunger, i use to be hungry after being totally full.
Also was put on dexamphetamines for ADHD which basically means i rarely feel much hunger during the day.
