"Yeah, yeah, I'm familiar with all the studies that find that exercise is only marginally effective at best for producing weight loss. And I'm certainly familiar with how some of those findings have been twisted wildly out of shape to claim that "fiery spurts of vigorous exercise could lead to weight gain." The thing is, I don't really buy it. So I was interested to see a big review article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine that tackles the topic of "compensatory responses" to exercise -- in other words, in what ways and to what extent do we make up for calories burned in exercise by eating more?
It's a long and fairly complex paper that covers a lot of ground, but one of the big themes is individual variability. To illustrate the point, check out this graph:"
