It takes a lot more exercize to burn food off than people think, especially to burn fat off.

Few will get enough exercize to make up for overeating junk food.

Learn to fill up on veggies, fruit, eat whole grains, unprocessed food, and moderate exercize is enough to stay moderately not a fat bastard.

It’s not necessarily the intensity but the duration. The exercise must be long enough that fat is metabolized.

Depending on several factors, there can be a 10–20 min period of time after the onset of exercise until fat metabolism can catch up with carbohydrate metabolism.

  Interesting. As an aside I read that running a marathon would burn about a pound of fat.
