I don't know why you're getting downvoted for this question. Epidemiologic studies tend to support the notion that in a practical setting (not an ideal laboratory), exercise is helpful for keeping weight off, but not really for losing weight.
So yeah, exercise is very important, but in the normal setting, it seems that exercise is counterbalanced by an increase in appetite, so it doesn't promote weight loss (but somehow does promote weight maintenance once weight is lost).

- carbocation 13y agoYou are quite right, which is why I said, "Epidemiologic studies tend to support the notion that in a practical setting (not an ideal laboratory)"... These are studies of what people do in the real world, not whether thermodynamics applies to people (which, of course, it does).

- carbocation 13y agoNo worries. Your concern was spot on, anyway.
