hmmmm. if i ate 2500 calories a day and burned 2500 calories i would keep the same weight. then if i added a two hour bike ride every day, i'll bet i'd lose weight. something like 3500 burned calories will shed a pound. so if i take in 2500 calories a day and burn 3000 calories a day, then i'll lose a pound a week. right? so exercise burns calories, so exercise will help.
I think he meant exercise without dietary regulation- I weighed 210 over the summer, ate alright and rode every day. Come winter, I put on 10 pounds because even though I rode as much, I ate more. I've been using the website
www.everydayhealth.com to keep track of my daily intake, and I think I'm at 208 or so now, not sure though.
