Why is it that so many people who do regular exercise remain overweight? There is an almost universal belief that exercise helps you lose surplus body weight. But the scientific evidence is clearly saying that exercise actually makes you fat. When you examine the evidence relating to exercise and weight loss you quickly realize that in fact there are no peer-reviewed studies published in credible mainstream medical journals supporting the contention that exercise is in any way good for health or good for weight loss. The few studies that specifically examine the effects of exercise on weight loss are either confounded by human life-style factors or they fail to prove any direct link between exercise and any kind of lasting healthy weight loss. And when studies relating to exercise and health (or exercise and body fat) are published, they are invariably misinterpreted and misreported because of the strong prejudice in favour exercise, and these result in misleading headlines. It should also be borne in mind that such studies are usually sponsored directly or indirectly by the health and exercise industry.
