While the exercise myth for weight loss still appears in
high-profile initiatives like the first lady's Let's Move! Campaign, more and
more individuals learn and experience that the role of exercise in weight loss
has been wildly overstated.
Message that exercise is not important in helping people lose weight is getting more support in research and in media.
I always pointed out that exercise was good for your health. At the same time I also dared to say that exercise wasn't necessarily helping us lose weight. My simple truth that that you don’t have to exercise to lose weight was not getting me many new online friends.
This statement was considered too controversial on some weight loss forums. It even got me banned from a website that declares that it “helps facilitate honest conversation about weight loss”.
Can you lose weight without exercising? Of course you can. Physical activity is a minor component to the economy of weight loss. The critical component is what you eat.
