Why you shouldn't exercise to lose weight, explained with 60+ studies

[Xan]

Is it eating less that changes the set point?  Or is it what you're eating?

Eating less calories.

Based on...?

That looks just like my parents' indoor cat used to look. It lacks the self-control to stop eating when it's full, and my parents kept filling up its food bowl when they saw it empty, so eventually the cat became obese.

Then they stopped feeding it all the time. It now gets a moderate, fixed amount of food each day. No change in exercise. It's now at a perfectly normal body weight.

Just one (feline) example of significant weight loss having absolutely nothing to do with exercise.

Who the hell still drinks Tang?
And wtf is Milo?

Tang is interesting. I would always throw up immediately after drinking it. I've only tried that two or three times in my life.
