Get Fatter With 14hrs Exercise A Week?

Dr John Berardi from Precision Nutrition has just posted a really interesting article on his blog, regarding training and fat loss.

A while back, he wrote about a recent study that showed that exercise doesn't work for fat loss - something that maybe as a trainer I shouldn't be passing on to you guys!

However, he's not saying not to exercise, just that exercise alone is not the answer - you really need to work the nutrition too.  

This is something I am all too well aware of - even when spending hours a day windsurfing or snowboarding I need to keep a tight rein on the calories or I just get fatter!  

This article takes that study a step further - demonstrating how these girls gained body fat despite a gruelling workout schedule.  Really worth a read:  PRECISION  NUTRITION FORUM
