Health benefits of exercise my depend on cellular degradation
ScienceDaily
(Jan. 20, 2012) – The health benefits of exercise
on blood sugar metabolism may come from the body's ability to devour itself, UT
Southwestern Medical Center researchers report in the journal Nature. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/01/120120184528.htm
Globe
and Mail (Jan. 11, 2012) by Kim Mackrael – If you want to live a
long and healthy life, your best bet is to get off the couch, not cut the
carbohydrates. That’s the message developed from years of research by Steven
Blair, an exercise researcher at the University
of South Carolina
Could obesity change the
brain?
NPR's
Health Blog: Shots (Dec.28, 2011) by Nancy Shute – The standard
advice for losing weight often comes up short for people who are obese. If they
switch to a healthful diet and exercise more,
they might lose a bit. But the pounds have a way of creeping back on. Now some
provocative research suggests that a part of the problem might be that obesity
could change the area of the brain that helps control appetite and body weight.

overeating has lasting effects: Those in
study who ate extra for month experienced physiological changes
Msnbc.com (Aug. 24, 2010) by Jeanna Bryner – The effects of a sedentary, gluttonous lifestyle are hard to shake, even after the person has become an upstanding, healthy individual, a new Swedish study suggests. Researchers found that even a short period of overeating and a lack of exercise can have lasting effects on a person's physiology and make it harder to lose weight and keep it off.

ScienceDaily (Aug. 18, 2009) — Although exercise is good for your health, extreme exercise may be physically addicting. Rats given a drug that produces withdrawal in heroin addicts went into withdrawal after running excessively in exercise wheels, according to new research. Rats that ran the hardest had the most severe withdrawal symptoms.

New York Times: Health (July 13, 2009) by Randi Hutter Epstein — No one has precise statistics on who is affected by eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia, often marked by severe weight loss, or binge eating, which can lead to obesity. But experts say that in the past 10 years they are treating an increasing number of women over 30 who are starving themselves, abusing laxatives, exercising to dangerous extremes and engaging in all of the self-destructive activities that had, for so long, been considered teenage behaviors.

Exercise
not likely to rev up your metabolism:
Studies bust myth that working out gives you a fat-burning boost
MSNBC.com (May 26, 2009) by Jacqueline Stenson — Start exercising and you’ll become a round-the-clock, fat-burning machine, right? That’s long been a commonly held belief among exercisers and fitness experts alike. But a new report finds that, sadly, it’s not very likely. The notion that exercise somehow boosts the body’s ability to burn fat for as long as 24 hours after a workout has led to a misperception among the general public that diet doesn’t matter so much as long as one exercises, says Edward Melanson, an exercise physiologist and associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30826120/
Blow your diet? Blame your brain: low-fat labels and encouraging exercise can backfire
MSNBC.com (May 13, 2009) by Linda Carroll — Ever make a resolution to go out and exercise and end up grabbing a gooey chocolate cupcake instead? No matter how good our intentions are, sometimes it seems like our stomachs are out to sabotage us. Scientists are now starting to understand why this happens. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30702871/
New York Times: (May 11, 2009) by Nicholas Wade
If you exercise to improve your metabolism and prevent diabetes, you may want to avoid antioxidants like vitamins C and E. That is the message of a surprising new look at the body’s reaction to exercise, reported on Monday by researchers in Germany and Boston.
ScienceDaily (May 8, 2009) — New research that uses an innovative approach to study, for the first time, the relative contributions of food and exercise habits to the development of the obesity epidemic has concluded that the rise in obesity in the United States since the 1970s was virtually all due to increased energy intake.

Think 30 minutes of exercise cuts it? Try 50
Msnbc.com

recommended may be necessary to prevent people from gaining weight, according
to updated guidelines.

ScienceDaily (Jan. 26, 2009) — If you are a mouse on the chubby side, then eating less may help you live longer. For lean mice – and possibly for lean humans, the authors of a new study predict – the anti-aging strategy known as caloric restriction may be a pointless, frustrating and even dangerous exercise. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/01/090123101224.htm
ScienceDaily (Dec. 12, 2008) — Severely obese patients who have lost significant amounts of weight by changing their diet and exercise habits may be as successful in keeping the weight off long-term as those individuals who lost weight after bariatric surgery, according to a new study published online by the International Journal of Obesity.

New
York Times: Health Guide (Aug. 30, 2007) by Gina Kolata —Two-thirds
of Americans are overweight or obese. For most, research shows, neither diets
nor moderate exercise brings significant
long-term weight loss. In brief: weight
control is not simply a matter of willpower; genes help determine the body's
"set point," which is defended by the brain; dieting alone is rarely
successful, and relapse rates are high; moderate exercise,
too, rarely results in substantive long-term weight loss, which requires
intensive exercise.
