Dear drcmaysv2,

You can't out-exercise a bad diet.

The end.

[SizedChewyStick]

Not quite the end. Some people are actually trying to lose weight which is why there is need for calorie counting. Just working out won't do it. It's more about what you eat than anything. 80% diet, 20% exercise.

[LACali4NiaNATIVE]

if anything its 80% exercise and 20% diet , exercise burns fat and diet just doesnt allow you to gain back the weight if you look at pro athletes like micheal phelps and flyod mayweather they eat much more then non-athletes and exercise alot more than non-athletes and they are fit

[Scott Nora]

One thing I don't understand: why did he take the McDonald's calories for granted? They weren't proven, right?

[mdnivel1]

working out helps, but it wont make you thin all by it self, its easy... IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE FAT DONT EAT FAT...

[mdnivel1]

geez... if thats what you eat in a day, you really eat a lot of crap!

[Avery Do]

i agree. plus it's probably easier to resist the temptation and put down the piece of cake then to run 3 miles on the treadmill to burn that off.

Society wants us to stay fat and unhealthy. We are consumers. We have to stay consumers until we die. you are obese? Your organs are surrounded by fat? You are in debt? Keep it up, you fat the workings of capitalism.

[GodShadowdeath]

but you can out exercise an extra 500 calories

[John Kramer Fan]

now I'm scared to eat anything anymore.

[Anusfish]
