I don't know how to edit the d off of exercise in the title to this. Sorry I was so sloppy. I want to add though, all the studies I have read said that people who start an exercise program to lose weight DON'T lose weight because they eat more. I don't blame them but you have to guard against that. I don't mind walking at all because I read on my treadmill and it saves me from feeling guilty about wasting all that time just reading. But for all the people who are doing something more odious, you feel you deserve to eat whatever you want, just as I do when I've been working really hard thinning my bamboo or painting a room or cleaning the garage. Exercise is critical for good health. I'm in perfect health it seems. But I don't pay any attention at all to calories used. Just my opinion and experience, but I think you will do lots better if you determine the appropriate number of calories to eat for your age, height, weight and gender for weight loss, and eat that number regardless of exercise. Some think you must eat more if you exercise. If your goal is to lose weight, don't exercise if you are going to eat more. After you lose weight, exercise. How about that for a plan?
