True of False? If You Add Exercise, You'll Lose Body Fat.

You might be surprised by the answer. To lose body fat, you have to burn off more calories than you consume. Exercise can help contribute to the calorie deficit, but exercise is often overrated as a way to reduce body fat. Exercise is better used as a tool to help maintain weight loss, because it helps relieve stress (which can reduce stress eating), helps you feel good about yourself, boosts your metabolism, and increases the desire to feed yourself healthfully.
