Exercise makes you gain weight?

In a study of postmenopausal women, it was found that women who exercised the most lost far less weight than had been predicted.*

The researchers concluded that this was probably due to the stimulating effect exercise has on appetite. The more you burn the more you'll want to eat.

The lesson learned is that you still need to carefully monitor your food intake to lose weight even with exercise.
