The Scribble Pad: Why exercise does not cause weight loss. I.E. CICO is for dumb people.
- From Art De Vany's book:
"Muscle is medicine; it releases many substances that promote health. Fat( body fat, not dietary fat) is poison; it sends forth chemicals that disrupt metabolism and promote chronic disease and aging.
Building muscle alters our metabolism; as we increase muscle mass, energy and nutrients are directed to our brain and muscle- not to our fat stores.
When you become more slender and muscular, your body composition (ratio of muscle to fat) makes it easy to maintain weight in a stable range.
Brief, more intense exercise supplies energy to the brain to offset hunger in a way that long and slow exercise cannot."
