Weight loss: Dear stallion, physical activity helps with weight loss. A basic concept is that calories burned must exceed calories consumed. The exercise will help to increase metabolic rate. However, i would encourage you to consider even more frequent physical activity to achieve this. Aerobic activity is especially important. Take care.

Exercise: It all depends on how much and what types of calories you are eating and how much you are burning with your exercise. Many people who exercise overcompensate and eat more calories. Many people who exercise do so inefficiently and do not burn the right calories to lose weight.
