It's well known around here: To lose weight, you need to control your food. When the intake is controlled, then exercise might help you lose weight in some minor way. Food control is the way to manage your weight.
But, in the same breath, exercise is great for fitness/health and we all should keep doing it... READERS: IF YOU'RE NOT EXERCISING, START. IF YOU ARE EXERCISING, DON'T QUIT. It's awesome! And we just learned a new thing about exercise that we didn't know -- and it's about losing some of the dangerous fat near your organs -- called visceral fat.
In a metastudy of 17 studies, some involving weight-control drugs, drug trials, and some exercise alone, researchers found that those who lost weight using exercise lost a greater proportion of fat from visceral fat, the fat that provides more chances of dangerous conditions related to being obese.
This might sound like a mixed message, but it really isn't. Many of us here in /r/loseit have been pretty consistent in our advocacy for using diet for weight loss, and exercise for fitness and health. What this might shade differently is that exercising while losing weight seems to provide a bias toward burning a particular kind of fat -- the fat that is not a layer of our skin but that lives around our central organs.
Said differently: Exercise with weight loss doesn't do much to fight the fat that makes your waist and neck look too big, but it does fight the inner fat that is even more critical to lose if you're obese.
