Exercise to feel better, not get thinner. So says the latest research, apparently. I loved the willingness in the article to question assumptions. I know that for me personally, I lose weight when I don't eat, not when I'm working out a lot. It does make me want to yell at the scientific establishment, "Will you make up your minds?"
Also, I am somewhat insulin resistant, and according to the article, foods that spike insulin (pasta, breads, sweets, beer, rice, potatoes, pastry) are what actually make you store fat. I don't like the way I feel after I eat them, anyway, so I don't, usually, but it's so interesting that this is physiologically borne out.

One thing I've noticed about this, is that a lot of times, exercise makes you hungrier. The people I know who exercise a lot, also eat a lot. They kind of can't help it.
My personal experience is that I lose weight best exercising *a little bit*, but not a lot. Like 1/2 hour a day, maximum, and making it vary from day to day - weights one day, cardio the next, yoga the next, AND combining that with a low (but not insanely low) calorie diet.
