No kidding at all.
They suggest that exercise leads to increased caloric intake that acutally hinders weightloss and can actually lead to weight gain.
the TIME article also points to something I read years ago, that there is little statistical difference in life expectancy between those who work out extremely hard and those who walk moderately 4 times per week.
TIME suggest that weight loss is a function of caloric intake. And while working out/exercise is very good for over all health, the way we generally work out (1 hour of very intense work) does not really meet the kind of activity that is optimum for a human's health.
4 or 6 short workouts per da (4 to 10 minute walks) is actually more benificial and will not lead to the body demanding additional calories.
seriously...

It's funny that you mention that... I re-joined Curves a few weeks ago, and ever since then I have been STARVING. I told my husband the other night that I don't know what is wrong with me, but I am
hungry all the time lately. He said - it's probably because you've been exercising more.
I'm starting to feel like a dog chasing my tail. Have to exercise more to burn the extra calories, which makes me hungrier, which means I eat more, which means I need to exercise more to burn *those * calories.......
