(32:00) Caloric Intake and Exercise Vinnie has always said that exercise is a poor way to lose weight. (33:00) A huge study that was just released used DLW (Doubly Labeled Water) methods to measure metabolism. Calories matter, but it's not the only thing to consider. Exercise is for longevity! (40:00) Your body compensates for increased activity by reducing energy used for other things, like fighting inflammation, stress response, etc. (41:00) The good thing about high fat and higher protein is that you feel full longer; however, you can not eat high *anything* without impunity.
