Data from multiple studies has concluded that the impact of exercise on weight loss is minimal; and caloric restriction is the only scientifically proven method that will achieve meaningful weight loss.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Consider the latest research showing that our bodies have evolved complex compensatory mechanisms to store energy, and its effect on weight loss through exercise.
  • Recognise that while exercise is vital for fitness, as well as cardiovascular and bone health, the impact of exercise on weight loss is minimal.
  • Understand that the data strongly suggests that meaningful weight loss can only be achieved through caloric restriction.
