Good article with citations. Premise is that excerise is not an essential component to weight loss and in fact exercise (the high intensity kind) makes us more hungry so we tend to eat more than when not exercising.
I found it because I've been on WeightWatchers since May (and have lost 35 lbs) but have recently started riding >50 miles per weekend on my bike.
Since kicking up the riding I'm much more hungry than normal and while I'm still losing I was curious why I am so much more hungry than before starting the long distance riding...ergo the Google which produced the following article.
Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin - TIME
I'll be passing this article to MIL. She has a bad back and has ballooned in weight in recent years. Her excuse is that since she can't exercise she can't lose weight.
