Ah, here is the scam. Say you do no exercise and your body burns 2,000 cal's/day just to maintain itself, and that is also what you consume. A strenuous exercise activity may actually burn 500 cal's, but that doesn't mean your body will then be in deficit 500 cal's; your body will otherwise burn 1,500 cal's for the day.
This is an example of how with regard to weight loss, the fitness industry makes claims that are technically correct, but in reality will not actually allow/cause you to lose significant amounts of weight.
Thats absolutely not true. If that was really the case there would be no obesity problem in our world simply because our bodies would adjust to the caloric increase by increasing energy expenditure, thus maintain the homeostatic 2,000cals/day. Whoever said that should seriously be shunned away from speaking . There are laws of thermodynamics that apply to our bodies. This is the reason even nutritional calculators are not always 100% correct for everyone. Different bodies, different needs. And no i am not talking about being a special snowflake, i am talking about our bodies being slightly different in terms of caloric needs and how it processes the food consumed.
