Exercise

Question 1

Why exercise is a bad strategy for losing weight?

Answer 1

Exercise alone may not lead to significant weight loss because it is difficult to burn off excess calories.

Question 2

The truth vs. what works

Answer 2

While exercise is important for overall health, it may not be the most effective strategy for weight loss.

Question 3

Excess calories are difficult to burn off with exercise

Answer 3

This means that you would need to exercise for a long period of time to burn off a relatively small number of calories.

Question 4

It can take up to one hour of continuous exercise to burn 500 calories

Answer 4

This is why it’s important to watch your diet and be mindful of calorie intake.

Question 5

500 calories are very easy to eat!

Answer 5

Consuming excess calories can quickly negate the calories burned during exercise

Question 6

Exercise often leads to increased calorie consumption

Answer 6

Exercise can increase appetite and cause people to eat more than they normally would.

Question 7

People who exercise tend to eat more the rest of the day than they would have if they hadn’t exercised

Answer 7

This can lead to consuming more calories overall than if you hadn’t exercised.

Question 8

Exercise can increase hunger and lead to more eating later

Answer 8

Exercise can also lead to an increase in hunger hormones that can cause people to feel more hungry after exercising.

Question 9

Exercise can lead to psychological compensation

Answer 9

Psychological compensation is when people reward themselves for exercising by eating more food.

Question 10

Rewarding yourself for your exercise by eating more food

Answer 10

This can undermine weight loss efforts because the additional calories consumed can easily outweigh the calories burned during exercise.
