Exercise reduces calories burned at rest in individuals with obesity (exercise keeps you fat)
Medical XPress / Chinese Academy of Sciences / Current Biology ^ | Speakman, J. et al

Exercise reduces the amount of calories burned at rest in people with obesity, according to a new study.

The study found that people who exercise burn fewer calories on body maintenance, therefore markedly reducing the calorie burning gains of exercise. This reduction in energy burned at rest was most pronounced in individuals with obesity and also, to a lesser extent, in older adults.

"When enrolled into exercise programs for weight loss, most people lose a little weight. Some individuals lose lots, but a few unlucky individuals actually gain weight," said Prof. John Speakman from SIAT, co-corresponding author of the study.

"…But we wanted to find out why some people show such compensatory mechanisms and others don't," said Prof. Lewis Halsey. The analysis found that two things dominate the extent of compensation. One is age–older people compensate more. The other is obesity specifically; people living with obesity cut back their resting metabolism when they are more active. The result is that for every calorie they spend on exercise they save about half a calorie on resting.

This is a cruel twist for individuals with obesity…

"Around the world, national guidelines tend to recommend a 500–600 calorie deficit through exercising and dieting to lose weight. However, they do not take into account the reduction of calories being burned in the most basic of human functions as the body compensates for the calories burned on the exercise," said Prof. Halsey.

Prof. Speakman added that "this analysis using data from the DLW database shows how individuals are not all the same in the way they budget their energy use. People living with obesity may be particularly efficient at hanging onto their fat stores, making weight loss difficult."

Yeah, the US is fat ass hell because of too much exercise.
Fatties should engage in caloric and carbohydrate cycling.

You need a balance of cardio and weight training.

Omega 6 fats are harder to use for energy.

Look for a research report done about 100 years ago of feeding rats with different types of fats. Those who ate coconut oil got thin quickly with exercise.

Starving or reducing caloric intake also reduces BMR which may actually lead to weight gain. So the remedy is simple. If you want to lose weight, eat like a pig and don’t engage in physical activity.

The real problem is it takes a LOT of jogging to run off a piece of apple pie!

“A study published in 2011 in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise examined young male subjects who exercised vigorously on exercise bikes for 45 minutes. After completing their workouts, their metabolisms increased for an average of 14 hours, and they burned an average of 190 additional calories above their resting metabolic levels....”

After that, it then goes lower. Good article here:

“Despite an ever-growing mountain of research documentation, the exercise/calorie-burning story is still far from clear. There’s some evidence that exercise can boost your metabolic rate – but, confusingly, regular activity appears to LOWER metabolic rates for some people. Here is a summary of the findings so far, and a round-up of the latest most-popular explanations of just what is going on.”

Yet a other example of how biology is not an exact science and thus, is NEVER “settled”.

Take note yet again, COVIDiots.

Just a thought- maybe its because when they are resting they are stuffing their mouths with chips, cookies and other goodies because they worked out earlier in the day??

About the only thing that actually works is eating less.
