Will Increased Activity Lead To Weight Loss?

convicted friend Dale Solomonson (dsolo) wrote:

"Exercise makes you hungry. It does not make you lean."

When the exercise is good for us, it will make us healthier
(hungrier).

If we overeat to reduce the hunger, we will not become optimally lean.

"... any increase in energy expenditure will have to induce a
compensatory increase in intake,

The latter would be a choice made with free will rather than a
physiological compensatory effect.

and so hunger has to be a
consequence.

The feeling of hunger arises when we are healthier.

And any enforced decrease in intake will have to induce a
compensatory decrease in expenditure - a slowing of the metabolism and/
or a reduction in physical activity."

Not when the intake amount is optimal.

"... neither eating less nor exercising more will lead to long-term
weight loss, as the body naturally compensates."

Eating less, down to the optimal amount leads to the long-term
optimization of health...

.... resulting in the optimization of body weight.

"Running marathons, however, will not make fat people lean, even if
they can get themselves to do it, because their bodies will adjust to
the extra expenditure of energy, just as they would adjust to calorie-
restricted diets."

While there is overeating, there will not be weight loss with exercise
in the obese.

"Obesity is a disorder of excess fat accumulation, not overeating, and
not sedentary behavior."

Obesity is a disorder of overeating.

We are overeating when we eat more than 32 ounces of food per day.

Truth is simple.

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed:
