@jimjohnson: can we please just agree to disagree and leave it at that.
Interesting article I just read.
Fat-burning zone is a myth: How exercise and weight loss really work
" "The idea that all of a sudden when you hit this zone the fat is just being sucked out of your system is simplistic," says Christopher Breen, an exercise physiologist ... . "That completely ignores that losing or maintaining weight is basically a matter of calories in versus calories out." "
From the comments
" Weight loss is 100% diet. Google "Constrained Calorie Expenditure" for the research, but basically we burn the same amount of calories each day whether we exercise or not. We burn more calories while we exercise but then our body compensates by burning less calories throughout the day than it would have if we didn't exercise. "
"Energy stored (i.e. fat) = Energy in (i.e. food) - Energy out (largely as heat and a small amount as motion)
The vast majority of our energy is used keeping us warm - by a factor of at least 100. Hence, losing weight has almost nothing to do with exercise, and almost everything to do with what you put in your gob.
[...]
exercise will not make a significant difference to the amount of fat in your body, unless you are doing something like out-there ultra-marathons "
"Exercise is not for losing weight!!!!! nor controlling it.
[...]
You control your weight, with FOOD, not exercise.
ITS FOOD 100%. Exercise has zero to do with it."
