An article in the August 9th edition of Time magazine by John Cloud entitled “Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin” is getting a lot of attention in the fitness world. Cloud makes many provocative statements and poses ridiculous questions including:“Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?”
“Could pushing people to exercise more actually be contributing to our obesity problem?”
“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless."
“Many people eat more junk food, like doughnuts — after going to the gym.”
“Fiery spurts of vigorous exercise could lead to weight gain”
How could something this horrendous make it into Time Magazine? It is because it is so poorly researched and the facts are so distorted that it is getting so much attention. No worries, after spending several pages confusing readers the author concludes by saying, “In short, it's what you eat, not how hard you try to work it off, that matters more in losing weight”. Well no S@%T!
You mean exercising doesn’t give you the pool pass to eat anything and everything you want?
You mean you have to combine both exercise and intelligent eating?
I think the rest of us already knew that. Thanks for the breaking news Cloud.
