Initially Lose Weight with Exercise Then Plateau
Many people can lose weight for a few weeks then stop losing. I'm going to explain exactly what is happening, but first, I need to tell you that exercise does NOT burn fat! Exercise only triggers several hormones that in turn use fat as energy. If you study endocrinology texts, you will notice two terms used over and over again—"exhaustive exercise” and “intense...
The 3 Biggest Mistakes People Make with Exercise
Exercise does NOT burn fat directly at all. The way fat is melted is not through some heating of the body. Fat cannot be melted like butter.

Dr. Berg states the main reason why the body accumulates fat (or p...
The Best Exercise Program
Did you know that exercise does not burn fat? Exercise creates a delayed effect of fat burning. Barely any fat is burned DURING exercise but instead is burned 14-48 hours AFTER exercise (1).
