Exercise is Still the Answer

This article from this Monday's USA Today discusses the strategies of those who have recently lost weight.  A clinical study tracked a number of people to see how they would try to keep off the pounds.

A large number of people regained weight, and this is no surprise given that many people used restrictive diets to lose weight.  Some behaviors, like weighing in every day, seemed to help subjects keep their weight down.  But the real answer to weight maintenance is clearly stated in the article: "people who were the most successful exercised for about an hour a day."

There's just no two ways about it: exercise is the key to losing weight and keeping it off.
