The title is misleading. 'Exercise alone' suggests no change in diet but the article talks about exercise coupled with an increase in calorie consumption.

- vannevar 11y agoI would go further and say the title literally says the opposite of the information contained in the article. It clearly says that exercise alone does make you lose weight. It just adds the observation that very few people actually try exercise alone---most try a combination of exercise and increasing their calorie consumption, which unsurprisingly doesn't work.
- WalterSear 11y agoIt also mainly focuses on large studies where all excercise is lumped into an 'hours per day' category. Not one mention of strength training vs the light-to-medium cardio that people consider to be 'exercise'.
