Exercise May Not Be Enough!



Do you know anyone who pedals feverishly on the stationary bike so that she can eat more at dinner? Are you one of those people? In the September 2015 issue of Clean Eating, a research article from Psychological Science was explored regarding people’s perceptions about exercise’s role in weight loss. The research found that people who thought that exercise was an effective tool for weight loss ate more chocolate and weighed more than those who used portion size and nutritious food to lose weight.  My take – to manage your weight you have to manage your emotions as well as your diet. Use exercise to manage your stress, anxiety and mood while you eat nutritious foods to meet your physical needs and your weight will take care of itself.
