Lose It For Ever – Dave Elger

This study demonstrates that, despite inducing a moderate energy deficit, an acute bout of subjectively paced brisk walking does not elicit compensatory responses in acylated ghrelin, appetite, or energy intake. This finding lends support for a role of brisk walking in weight management.  -Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise

Subjects who walked briskly for an hour, burning just under 500 net calories (total-BMR) did not compensate by eating more.  Appetite was not affected.   This study contradicts the theory proposed in the recent Time magazine feature Why Exercise Won’ t Make You Thin.
