Please explain why people think that just exercise alone will help with weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercise burns : Calories, and that can help lose weight, but it is only fully effective when combined with dietary restriction. You have to walk 35 miles to burn off one pound-- that's a lot of exercise.
