A recent Time Magazine feature story says that exercise does not facilitate weight loss. The basic problem is exercise makes us hungry so we eat more after to reward ourself.
It does say exercise helps with cognitive functioning and overall health goals. Those who exercise are less likely to have serious medical or mental problems. Sad to say this is not always true, but there are 30-40% statistical advantages.
However, though the pain of exersise doesn't feel good, the post high feels great.For that alone I reccommend it wholeheartedly and practice it religously.
Just don't go to Dunkin Donuts after. There are many low calorie options that feed the beast within, without feeding the belly.
Moreover, the "stress management" component of exercise is undeniable. This is most important during these most challenging times.

PERSEVERANCE AND THE PROVERBIAL DIET
A recent article said that the average American is 23 pounds overweight. Truth be told I am painfully "average". Last week I made a committment to lose 25 pounds over the next 4-6 months. Historically, once I adopt that mindset I usually succeed. I can become just as "addicted" to healthy as to unhealthy. Unhealthy is just much more fun!
Anyone who has ever tried to move the numbers on the scale back a few notches knows that perseverance is key. It is, oh so easy, to start a diet on Monday (never on Friday night) and leave it by Tuesday or Wednesday. Yet, as we have discussed in other areas, perseverance pays dividends when it comes to losing weight and getting back in shape.
From a physical and mental health point of view, the rewards are multiple. Last I went on a regimen, the tee shirt I wore said, NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS! My hope and desire is to wear that again and go from Large to Medium. I encourage you to join me by persevering in this pursuit.
Average is something I never aspired to be. I'm sure the same is true for you!
