That's just buying into the same flawed hypothesis that weight maintenance is a problem of "calories in— calories out". It has been a spectacular failure, long-term, for 98% of the people who try implementing it. Only by increasing caloric restriction and making oneself miserable can weight-loss be maintained this way because the body always tries to achieve balance (homeostasis). Just REDUCING intake will ALWAYS trigger a compensatory reduction in calories burned off, by reducing metabolic rate and movement.
Obesity/overweight is much more complicated than that (the calories in— calories out). It is a problem of enery production at a cellular (mitochondrial) level, often caused by a combination of nutrient deficiencies plus toxic exposures, including such food toxins as omega 6 fatty acids from the universally over-eaten industrial seed oils (soy oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, etc.).
When exercise helps, it is probably more because of its effect on stimulating mitogenesis instead of its effect from calorie use.
But people tend to "put the cart before the horse". They exercise to force energy use. Instead, increasing cellular energy availability automatically makes one WANT to move to use the energy "overflow". Why are little kids ALWAYS moving around? Jumping, waving arms, can't hold still? It's BECAUSE they have so many young, healthy mitochondria! They are BURSTING with energy! Why are old people usually so sedentary? Why do people typically get increasingly fat as they get older?They have comparatively very few (or few healthy) mitochondria remaining!
ALL overweight people are creating cellular energy at sub-par levels! ALL need to work on their mitochondrial health. Poor-functioning mitochondria are also one of the key elements of the Redox Imbalance that underpins every chronic disease. (Oxidation-reduction state in cells.)
