at the mileages that typical runners run, its very difficult to binge back on as many calories as you just burned...at 70 mpw, you're burning about 1000 calories a day on your run....now if you can come home and eat that 1000 calories back on, all the power to ya
but, for the typical gallowalker that will go out and gallowalk their way around the block and go 1.5 miles in an hour, they get back and can eat 2-300 calories....which far trumps the amount they burned exercising
so the real problem is
a) fat people are too fat to be able to exercise in a manner which prevents them from not being able to cover the calories eaten in the post exercise binge
b) people are f***ing pussies.....have some self control....after you exercise, instead of eating a f***ing danish.....how bout you drink more water WHILE you exersize and you'll not be as hungry when you finish....here's another one....exercise BEFORE a meal that you would eat anyway....that way you're not eating any extra calories
thats the answer.....and its articles like this that are the reason fat people will stay fat and get fatter
heres the thought process "hmmmm....lets see....i can't control my eating after exersizing...so i should just not exersize at all!!!!! yay....."
