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.
