Is It Possible to Not Exercise and Still Lose Weight?

Most people who are not professional athletes do not have 5 or more hours each day to devote to exercising. Therefore, if you are looking to lose weight, don’t expect your 30 minutes or 1 hour at the gym to do the trick.
The only way to lose weight is to Eat + Drink ≈ Anything.
