Comments on: Exercise or Diet? http://mariasols.com/2008/11/16/exercise-or-diet/ Personal Opinions about Diets Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:42:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tanya http://mariasols.com/2008/11/16/exercise-or-diet/comment-page-1/#comment-2874 Tanya Tue, 18 Nov 2008 03:37:11 +0000 http://mariasols.com/?p=259#comment-2874 Exercise's contribution to weight loss is equal to the number of calories it burns, nothing more, nothing less. You can just eat that much less food to get the same effect. People who can keep up exercise programs are simply more disciplined than people who cannot. This discipline transfers to their eating habits. If they lose more weight, it's because of their eating habits, not the exercise. Correlation doesn't mean causation. Nobody's saying you should be a sloth. Do a certain amount of walking and the like. Go hiking or participate in a team sport if you want more. But artificial make-work activity like going to a gym is stupid and a waste of your precious hours on earth.
