This, absolutely true for me. I am presently pretty physically active and it does zero for weight loss but lots for fun, companionship, fitness and strength. If anything, on days when I do a lot I get hungry and need to eat more that day or the next to compensate. Body's smart enough to automatically adjust and signal what it needs to survive and thrive. During a time I was inactive due to injury my appetite dropped, no weight gain, then went back up with resumption of activity, no weight loss. My diet is what makes weight loss happen. |
Generally true for me, as well. Times I've been the most active (eg military training), I "should have" been thinner. It wasn't the case.

I like the Gary Taubes (and others) theory, which is the other way around: it's not that you're overfat because you aren't hamster-wheeling it enough; rather you'll spontaneously become more active when you fix the metabolic problem. When you're overfat mainly because of garbagey food, you're still energy-starved at a cellular level. Fix the diet so that you use food and stored body energy properly, and you'll start exercising. You might need less sleep, you'll be more fidgety, you'll want to move more. |
Count me in on this theory! I actually had a former employer pay for a 1 year gym membership with personal trainer because the COO did not believe me that I would gain weight if I worked out. The firm paid for the first six months, and because I did everything the personal trainer told me to (except eat low fat), the firm paid for the second six months as well.
This reminds me of the What If by Tom Naughton. "What if Mechanics and Nutritionists Switched Jobs?" Link My favorite part was from the part where the nutritionist gives mechanical advice: Quote:
