Exercise may or may not help you lose weight and keep it off – here's the evidence for both sides of the debate
So clickbaity stuff. Ofcourse exercise doesnt help if one over eats. Cico is just basic physics. No magic here. The thing is though it is mentally difficult to lose weight. Its hard. But it is doable for everyone.
I do a fair bit of exercise, mostly I run, but also some weight training. I have also struggled with my weight and have lost quite a bit of weight counting calories.
Working out makes you fucking HUNGRY. Sometimes I have to stop running for a few weeks in order to get my diet in order. If I run, the willpower required to resist overeating will swamp me. Nothing is easy.
Amen. This is why so many former athletes gain so much weight. Eating habits stay the same when training habita go nonexistent.
Cico severely oversimplifies things. Check this out for one possible alternative: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916522005172?via%3Dihub The only downside is you can't boil down a whole bunch of complex processes to a useless catchphrase. From its abstract:
That is true. It is very much over simplified. It still remains for general purposes very accurate. Humans as a species have no knowledge in breaking the laws of physics as we know them. Ofcourse it works differently for all subjects and cico doesnt take ones mental abilities in to account. Cico only states blatant non human side of things.
For most people cico is very usefull and only thing standing in a way for ones weight loss is will power. Excuses are easy to make in our modern society where food is cheap and plentiful.
I did skim through the link you send but couldnt really find anything that contradicted cico in itself.
