"You cannot out train a bad diet."  This is the practitioner's equivalent of Gary Taubes' well researched perspective highlighting the fact that there's little evidence to support the conjecture that exercise is helpful in fat loss.  That exercise would not help with fat loss is also the commonest of common sense, else all lumberjacks would have died of starvation.  In other words, more exercise generates more hunger to the extent that it successfully consumes calories.  Caloric deficit - whether from exercise or under-eating - generates hunger, thank goodness.
