It will give couch potatoes more reason to put their feet up and disappoint those who hit the gym to try to shed the extra pounds.
Apparently, exercising is not the best way to lose weight. Research shows that, contrary to popular belief, we are not less active than we were 20 years ago.
This means that the growing obesity problem is down to people eating too much, not a lack of exercise, according to Professor John Speakman.

Getting on the treadmill won’t help shift those pounds as much as better eating habits
Working with a Dutch colleague, Professor Speakman, of Aberdeen University, analyzed two decades of studies on energy expenditure.
The data, from the U.S. and the Netherlands, showed that despite a growing reliance on time-saving technology, people today are not any less active than those of 20 years ago.
Factors such as decline in the number of children walking to school and a rise in TV watching do not necessarily equate to weight gain, the International Journal of Obesity reports.
For example, children driven to school have more time to spend running around in the playground, while evening TV watching has replaced other sedentary activities such as reading and listening to the radio.
Professor Speakman told the British Science Festival: ‘In the 1950s no one would have bought an exercise bike and sat on it in their garage but now people will do that.’
The researcher, however, stressed that physical activity is good for the body in other ways and should be part of a ‘healthy, balanced lifestyle’.
Holly smokes! I must say, your blog has to be one of the best written blogs that I have read in a long time.What I wouldn’t give to be able to write posts that are as mind grabing| as yours. I think I’ll have to continue reading your articles and hope that one day I can write on a topic with as much knowledge as you have! Bravo!!
I am really not too familiar with this topic but I do like to visit blogs for layout ideas and interesting topics. You actually expanded upon a subject that I usually don’t care much about and made it very fascinating. This is a memorable blog that I will take note of. I already bookmarked it for future reference. Thx
I discovered your blog Wednesday and started follow your posts regularly. I have not commented on any blog just yet but I was thinking I would love to. It is pretty exciting to actually contribute to a publication even if it’s only a blog. I really don’t know exactly what to write other than I actually enjoyed reading through 8 of the posts. Nice posts indeed. I sure will keep visiting your blog weekly. I learned quite a bit from you. Thanks a bunch!
Amazing summary, bookmarked the blog with interest to read more information!
Thank you for making the sincere effort to discuss this. I feel fairly strong about it and would like to learn more. If it’s allright, as you gain more in depth knowledge, would you mind adding more articles similar to this one with more information? It would be extremely helpful and useful for me and my co-workers.
Un blog interesante, me ha gustado mucho. Te sigo habitualmente

Thanks I got your url. Does anyone by chance have a backup mirror site or link to a different source? The weblink does not seem to work for me.
Howdy, an amazing article man. Good share. But I’m experiencing problem with the RSS feed. Unable to subscribe to it. So anybody having similar rss feed issue? Anyone who knows kindly respond. Thanks!
Hi, I’m a college English major and I’m learning a great deal about writing by viewing blogs. I really love your style of writing. It’s very easy to understand but with excellent details. Your vocabulary makes it easy to read and understand. That’s a big part of writing. Your viewers have to be able to understand what you’re conveying to them and the article has to be exciting. You need to challenge your readers, so they will come back again. You do a good job with all of these aspects. Thank you!
Your weblink you sent me came thru, thanks, but it looks to not be working, does anybody at all have a backup, or mirror source? Just something that works.
