> Exercise is practically useless for weight loss. The body demands a fixed number of calories (up until you're doing something at the level of extreme training) and shunts the available calories between systems. Exercise has lots of benefits. Weight loss just isn't one of them.
This is sort of true but also sort of not. The body doesn't require a fixed amount of calories exactly, a specific body composition does. If you put on muscle the amount of calories the body demands goes up.
