That was the same program that told you exercise was basically pointless when it comes to weight loss, wasn't it?
Despite dragging on a bit, it was a bit of an eye opener.
yep, same one
Whilst the programme sort of hinted exercise was pointless, I did feel that was a little flippant. Surely the message should be don't diet and don't exercise to lose weight, because that tends to mean theat once you've 'achieved' you can then revert to some other behaviour (hence yo yo dieters).
The message is quite simple but not instant, watch what calories you stick in your mouth and balance them with the number you burn.
His point about burning two thirds of your daily calories by sitting there simply existing, and that exercise then inevitably leads to rest and / or eating was valid. But could have been taken as 'don't exercise', by those still seeking the lazy magic bullet.
