Saw this article on continuing studies and reviews of the studies on this subject. I thought it was worth sharing.

Agree...totaly. Plus some exercise makes my BS drop, and makes me really hungry....

Thanks for sharing this!! It's true...what makes us fat is what we eat. I was just saying to someone the other day...I remember way back in the 70's dieting did not include exercise......and people lost weight!! I agree people need to be more active for other reasons.

So true. I love exercise, and it's great for my health, but my diet is what controls my weight.

I'm learning this from this journey. I always counted on exercise to "allow" me to eat all the other things I wanted to, and could never figure out why I couldn't lose the weight I needed to and keep it off. It's the food, and the eating. I am exercising of course, but this time it's because I want to improve all over health and muscle tone and all that good stuff.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice article, forever I've been told that diet takes the weight off & exercise keeps it off. Nice to know exercise helps but it's what you eat that's more important. A runner with type 2 diabetes was the part that really interested me & is such a reminder that it's what you eat that makes the difference.

Still not returning my little Fitbit, luv this little thing! Besides a reminder to get more fit just for health benefits is a good thing, but it kills me that it keeps showing that I can have more calories just cuz I exercised! What a way to follow a stereotype!
