Article Exercising but Gaining Weight? In the news there is a study of 81 women, who previously have not exercised, that gained weight when they started exercising. They not only didnt lose weight, some even gained fat. First a study of 81 women is extremely small. Second, the exercise they did was 30 minutes of treadmill three times per week. And third, they were told not to change their eating habits, but were not monitored. You will not gain muscle by walking on the treadmill alone. For those who gained fat, the more likely scenario is they increased their appetite and ate more of what ever they were eating before the study. Since they were already overweight, chances are their food intake sucked anyway. If they were eating decently, chances are they would not have been that overweight to begin with. In my opinion this study should not even be presented in the news. Many who hear this will think that they cant lose weight no matter what they do. This is wrong. This study does show the importance of your diet. Without proper nutrition and exercise planning, you may not lose weight. Most people cannot cardio only their way to fat loss. It takes an entire approach. Here is an article about the study. well.blogs.nytimes/2014/11/12/exercising-but-gaining-weight/
