yes, I have too, although the scientific results are pretty mixed. See a book by Gary Taubes called “Good Calories, Bad Calories.” He analyzes almost every study on weight, diet, and heart health in the last 50 years. It’s really an astounding book. Most of the studies show that exercise without diet control leads to weight gain because it stimulates your appetite. But the science is really tough, and Taubes makes great sense of it. He has a smaller, more accessible book called “Why We Get Fat (and What to Do About It)” but it doesn’t have the analysis of scientific studies that GCBC has.

Gary Taubes - Good Calories, Bad Calories

I downloaded this on Kindle. Though I will never be even remotely convinced that exercise does not affect weight.
