Everyone is on a diet, some are just better than others. You probably would have more success restricting your intake than assuming you can just burn the excess off. It's a lot easier to not eat 500 calories than it is to burn an additional 500 calories. You want to do both (good diet and exercise) but it's really a good diet that going to impact your weight.
