A member asked:
Is there a doc here that can explain why i am still able to lose weight even when i consume more calories than what i burn on a treadmill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because: you are burning calories every second of the day - not only when just actively exercising. Your weight will also go up or down depending on how much water is in your system. Take care.
