Diet vs. Exercise
While it's true that exercise plays a much smaller factor in the OVERALL equation of losing weight (diet weighs in somewhere between 70-80%). It should not be mistaken that "exercise is not important." Yes, exercise does increase your appetite, however it also raises your body's metabolic rate so that the calories consumed are burned off quicker. A rigorous exercise session, followed by a heavy, calorie-laden meal will (if you're lucky) just cancel each other out. Exercise won't make a whole lot of difference if a person is overeating. It's an easy mistake to make...
Sometimes we don't realize (and, it is easy to forget) how much exercise is required to burn off the food we choose to eat. At the end of the day, losing weight is about doing the math.
