“If you exercise and replace the calories you burn, you’re no better — with regard to how much fat you burn off — than if you didn’t exercise,” says Melanson. “It’s not that exercise doesn’t help with weight loss,” says Melanson. “It’s that it’s harder to lose weight with exercise than diet.”

HORRIBLY MISLEADING QUOTE:
“If you exercise and replace the calories you burn, you’re no better — with regard to how much fat you burn off — than if you didn’t exercise,”
ADJUSTED QUOTE:
“If you exercise and replace the calories you burn, you’re no better — with regard to how much fat you burn off — than if you didn’t exercise and didnt eat a thing. Disgregarding of course the fact that you improved your cardio-vascular health, toned your current muscle mass, and demonstrated positive will power.”
absolutely right - like with those marathon runner, who didnt lose weight but in a CO2 test most went from "might die tomorrow" to "superior."
