I cringe every time that someone tells me that their weight loss plan consists of exercise without a change in their diet. While you can definitely will your way towards weight loss with exercise, it is very challenging to truly “melt the pounds off”.

Most of us overestimate the number of calories that we burned through exercise and then tend to overcompensate with our eating. We are also more hungry when we do high levels of exercise, and our bodies even adapt to unconsciously move less throughout the rest of the day. Tune into to today’s episode of Your Nutrition Prescription to learn more about why exercise is a bad weight loss strategy and what you can do instead.
