If maintaining goal weight was a matter of money, then there wouldn’t be any overweight rich people (Shatner, Orson Wells, Bill Gates, Ryan O’Neal, Elvis, etc).
Exercise has very little to do with weight control. For every five calories you burn exercising, you become six calories hungrier.
Fat people aren’t fat because they don’t exercise, thin people aren’t thin because they do.
People aren’t thin because they run. They run because they are thin.
