Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin!

One of the most controversial chapters in Dr. Lipman's new book "The 100 Calorie Secret" is all about the question whether or not you should exercise while trying to lose weight."Although it may be healthy and good for everybody, imposing the need to exercise while being on a diet to lose weight creates confusing goals for most people. Overwhelming yourself with time-consuming exercise plans, and at the same time restricting your calorie intake, will lead to failure of both losing weight and regularly working out in nine out of ten cases." Dr. Lipman no longer stands alone with his opinion. Check out John Cloud's latest, must-read article "Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin" in Times Magazine.

The less physical effort to obtain it, the better it appears. Their appears to be a genetic differences in responsiveness to environmental factors telling the individual to eat. Additionally, overweight people are much more responsive to these external signals—smells, pictures, signs, time of day, stress levels than their normal weight counterparts.

Palatability and pleasantness are the most powerful determinants of food intake. The pleasure of tasting sweet or fatty foods is so strong in many people as to override all abilities to limit their intake. Drs Berridge and Robinson have outlined the psychological components as: learning, liking and then wanting.
