Starting an exercise routine doesn’t guarantee you’ll lose weight, but exercise can be helpful in meeting weight loss or maintenance goals. Here's what works best.
This. If exercise burns 100 calories per day, that is still a major help to losing weight. If someone is eating near their CICO threshold and finds it hard to cut more, that 100 calories down a day from exercise is 700 calories a week and 36,500 calories yearly. That translates to roughly 10lbs or 4.5kg lost.
It’s not “lose half your body fat in half a year” sensational, but it tips the scales slightly further to accelerate weight loss.
