Breaking news! What you eat has an effect on your weight. More at 11.

Well eating right IS more important tbh.

But yea, the general public is a bunch of morons who thinks weight=fat and doesn't understand the diff between fat and muscle... so yea, weight training may not make you lose weight, but so what?

Building muscle is a like a steady job instead of finding 50$ every now and then , screw you hippies.

When it comes strictly to weight loss exercise is not necessary and eating habits are more important. You could theoretically eat a perfect diet x amount of calories below your maintenance and lose weight without taking extra time to exercise.

This doesn't mean that that strategy is efficient or smart, or will even lead to a good looking body. It just means weight loss.
