Summary
There is a massive misconception about the role of exercise in losing weight.
Most Americans believe that lack of exercise rather than diet is the biggest contribution to the obesity epidemic.
In reality, exercise plays a minor role in weight loss for the simple fact that it accounts for SO LITTLE of our calorie burn.
Running for 2 hours might burn 1000 calories, which could be consumed in 5 minutes if you've got the right type of vegan ice cream!!
In this episode I talk about the 3 main reasons that exercise doesn't help you lose weight, but what to do instead.
