[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 141998, member: 18023"] But for me, one other very important takeaway from this article. [I][COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)]But they also found there was a strong relationship between exercise and keeping weight off. (The study participants who managed to maintain their weight loss after six years got 80 minutes of moderate exercise per day or 35 minutes of daily vigorous exercise.)[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)][I] "Consistent with previous reports, large and persistent increases in [physical activity] may be required for long-term maintenance of lost weight," the researchers concluded.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]I have often wondered about the accuracy of calorie counters on gym equipment, as it seems to me that exercising for an hour of on treadmill and "burning" 400+ calories doesn't seem to mean I can eat 400 more calories or that this puts me even further into calorie deficit.
