If I had a personal trainer, I’d be making an indignant phone call to him right about now:
“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, chair in diabetes and metabolism at Louisiana State University and a prominent exercise researcher.
Actually I’m not particularly peeved about this information. I joined a gym six years ago (almost to the day, in fact!) and although I haven’t lost much weight, I feel healthier generally, so I’m happy overall.
The bad news: apparently the best way to lose weight is to… well, eat less. Bugger. Hampo likes his food.
