Some People End Up Heavier After Undertaking An Exercise Regimen.

according to a study published in the October issue of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, “a substantial number of people who take up an exercise regimen wind up heavier afterward than they were at the start, with the weight gain due mostly to extra fat, not muscle.” The study of “81 healthy but sedentary women” who undertook an exercise program for 12 weeks without modifying their diet also revealed that “women who were losing weight after four weeks of exercise tended to continue to lose weight, while the others did not.” Many reward themselves with more calories than they burn. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/11/12/exercising-but-gaining-weight/?ref=health&_r=0
