Dr. Baron, MD, with University of California San Francisco Medical School reviews a "meta analysis," which in this case, is a compilation and summary of 43 published major medical studies. These 43 clinical weight loss studies include 3476 participants. Overall, adding exercise to a weight loss diet resulted in what is statistically (and practically) no difference in weight loss. The "difference" between diet only and diet and exercise was only 1.1 kg. A kg is 2.2 lbs; therefore, the total added weight loss benefit from several months of exercise versus diet alone was only 2.4 lbs TOTAL. Increasing the intensity of the exercise in the studies increased the OVERALL weight loss FROM 2.4 lbs to 3.3 lbs. That means that when test subjects worked much harder for several months' that these trials lasted they lost, on average, an additional 0.9 lbs (less than 1 lb). This doctor did state elsewhere in the video that exercise does have other health benefits; however, meaningful weight loss is not one of them. There is a physiological reason for that.
