Time Magazine Confirms Exercise Won’t Make You Thin
According to Time Magazine recent obesity research shows that exercise will not necessarily lead to weight loss. “In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, chair in diabetes and metabolism at Louisiana State University and a prominent exercise researcher.
Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important in helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser.
So how did the exercise-to-lose-weight mantra become so big? Well, doctors tell their patients to exercise to lose weight. Celebrities promote their fitness programs. And even experts find it hard to renounce the notion that exercise is essential for weight loss.
According to psychologist Kelly Brownell, who ran a lab at Yale that treated obese patients with the standard combination of more exercise and less food. “What we found was that the treatment of obesity was very frustrating,” he says. Brownell says if he were running the program today, “I would probably reorient toward food and away from exercise.”
In 2005, Brownell co-founded Yale’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, which focuses on food marketing and public policy — not on encouraging more exercise.
So when Eat + Drink ≈ Anything states you can exercise or not and still lose weight, it is not some gimmick. It is based on science. Do we promote not exercising, of course not. Exercise is essential for most people who work in offices and do not get any regular physical activity. Our bodies need exercise to stay healthy. However, you should realize that exercise will give you health, but not necessarily make you thin. The only way you can really lose weight is to lower the quantity of food you eat.
Check out any exercise program or equipment sold on TV. All will have a nutritional component. There is no way 5-Minute Abs, p90X, Bowflex or anything else will work if you do not also change how much you eat.
Eat + Drink ≈ Anything allows you to eat and drink anything you want but it reduces the amount of food you eat. In order for your body to accept this lower food amount and so you will not be hungry we increase the number of times you eat. Try out the FREE Weekly Menu and start losing weight with or without exercise.
