You can run all you like, but if you're eating donuts, big macs, and soda with every meal, you're not going to lose any weight. Or very little. Kelly Turner knows what she’s talking about.

Of course if you work out, but still eat in a manner that got you obese in the first place, you arent going to lose weight. Losing weight is about calories in and calories out- if you consume more calories than you burn, you are going to gain weight. They always gloss over the fact that exercise isn't meant to make you thin, its to increase your muscle mass, increase your cardiovascular performance, bone density, strengthen your heart and lungs, lower your risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, build muscle, sustain mobility, prevent injury, reduce stress etc etc etc. But, no. No one cares about health, they just care about skinny. Drives me nuts. Healthy choices all around are the key to weight loss- there is not short cut. Good nutrition and exercises go hand in hand. They aren't opposites that counter act the other. erg- these “findings” drive me nuts.
