    quote from the actual article:
    Exercise is not a license to eat. “All too often clients believe that any exercise gives them permission to eat more,” says Moore, “The truth is, it rarely balances out calories consumed.”

    So, almost a complete contradiction with the OP: it just says don't eat more than you burn. Duh.

    What kind of statement is that? Your post doesn't even attempt to prove your topic heading. I call Shenanigans.

    Shennanigans has been called. the tribunal will now meet.

    I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, " Shenanigans."
    Farva What is that place you like to eat? .... "What do you mean Shenanigans?"

    This site is designed with the intention of eating them back.

    I ate all mine back.

    I still eat all mine back.

    "License to eat"? I don't see how I could have been successful if I had felt deprived. If I wanted to eat more, I worked for it. The concept seems simple, really, if you don't try to twist it and make it difficult.

    I love to eat.

    don't eat more than you burn

    WHOAAAA! Easy with the new science there, buddy. You're going to offend a lot of folks around here with that blasphemy.

    You're comparing apples to oranges. Eating back your ACTUAL calories is different than thinking "any exercise gives you permission to eat more" (than you've burned).

    I prefer to think about it the way I once saw it worded: "You lose ounces in the gym but pounds in the kitchen." Reminds me that controlling the food is the real issue. IMO, food is for losing weight, exercise is for gaining fitness. Two different things.

    I think our culture in general today is prone to over-indulgence and excess. I've found the mindset "I worked out, so I can eat whatever I want" to be very damaging. We should focus on having balance and moderation and not necessarily link our exercise habits with our eating.

    The never ending debate. God help us all.

    It's only a continuing debate because some people refuse to sit down and do the math.
