According to a recent two-year study conducted by Lara Dugas of the University Of Loyola Chicago Stritch School Of Medicine, physical activity is not enough to prevent weight gain. The new study concluded that participants who were exercising daily actually gained weight because the increase in their metabolism resulted in more eating. The conclusion revealed that eating properly coupled with exercising will help maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent weight gain.
