    Talk about a fucked-up relationship with your own body. "I have to punish myself with exercise, and then I feel so bad I reward myself with unhealthy food, which means I have to punish myself again!" And then he has to go find studies and scientists to tell him that it's not his fault because he's wearing out his "self-control muscle" with all that exercise, poor thing.
    My body needs food when I come back from the gym, but I don't have any desire for it. I have to make myself eat something healthy. Clearly I'm only losing weight because I'm a freak of nature.

    I quit my gym and have never looked better.
    I'll tell you how I lost weight... I stopped going out every other night to drink liquid bread (beer) with friends and I try to eat dinner on the earlier side.
    Diet and consistency are big parts to the equation. if I stop for a week and resume my lazy winter pattern it comes back as fast as I lost it.

    Oh, also I literally have a couch potato routine. You could totally do sit-ups while watching T.J. Hooker while sipping some bud light.

    Conclusions of article are a load of crap. Weight is not a good measure of health, necessarilly. It's possible they exercisers gained muscle weight but shrank their waist-lines, reduced their blood pressure, etc. Furthermore, when I run my appetite definitely increases BUT IT ALSO MAKES ME CRAVE HEALTHIER FOODS. I'm sure I'm not the only person that experiences this. It makes me crave fruit and vegetables.

    @RonnSicTorossian: Totally agree. When I work out, I desire healthier foods than when I don't. The two go hand in hand for me.

    The main point that I can see of this study, which is not remotely comprehensive, is that the people who exercised then went and ate foods high in fat and calories as a reward. You're not going to lose weight doing that. When I leave the gym I get a small skim latte with no sugar and then go home and eat a balanced meal.
    I count calories using a web service, I can eat 1500 a day and lose weight based on my body weight and how sedentary or active I am at my job during the day. But if I burn through 400 calories, I can also eat those calories ending up with 1500 a day (1900 from food, -400 from exercise) that will still help me lose weight. I could never exercise and still lose weight if I hit 1500 a day, but I'll have sagging skin and no muscle tone, and no stamina. No thanks
    To lose weight permanently you need both "diet" and exercise.

    But exercise is still crucial for maintaining healthy bones. It's excellent prevention for osteoporosis, along with calcium and Vitamin D. I think the problem is that people think a vistit to the gym gives them a free pass to pig out the rest of the day.

    Every person with half a brain knows that exercise alone or diet alone does not work. It is exercise + diet is the key to losing weight.

    Losing weight and staying fit is about 70 percent diet and 30 percent exercise. Eat small light meals, stay away from junk food, and go to the gym a few times a week. It's pretty simple.

    Great, now I can tell all my skinny friends that the reason I'm so fat is 'cause I exercise too much.

    Put down the fork (smaller portions); stop eating processed foods -- especially fast food; do a modicum of exercise ... and the pounds come off, really.

    I hate incomplete studies like these. The study doesn't acknowledge that proper diet and exercise is the most effective way to lose wait. How these bullshit studies make the news, I'll never know.

    I don't go to the gym to lose weight. I go to the gym so I can keep my arms tight in order beat the shit out of people if I need to, get my heart rate up so I can live to see my kid grow up, and to experience the testosterone overload that is the men's weight area.

    @BookishLookish: while i was at the gym tonight there was a man there who insisted on cursing (very loudly and enthusiastically) every time he lifted any weight... i just don't understand does grunting, yelling, cursing, etc... really help in the end? i lift my weights just fine without any noises, maybe the occasional really loud exhalation of breath...

    Well everyone knows that people from Louisiana are fat, lazy, tubs of lards, so it is a no wonder that they gained weight after being subjected to exercise in any form. Now a study group from NY, that would surely get results! But since The Cajun Boy seems to here imply that all science is crap (i.e., will be contradicted in a new study), and apparently no progress is made with such studies, yum yum these cheezees. . . . or whatever. Well, no. Let us pray instead, to the gods with a healthy dose of laying on of hands to achieve our goals of weight loss, etc. That will surely work. The end.
