Nothing really new - many of us have been saying this for a while - but perhaps it carries more weight coming from a new study

I hate that they say it's 90% diet. That leaves it open to weasel shit and people saying it's 10% genetic.

No, it's fucking not. Count your fucking calories for a month and tell me it's genetic.

If all you want is for the number on the scale to go down, diet will certainly do that. If you want to be healthy though, you should definitely exercise.

Yes. But getting to a healthy weight first is going to make exercise a lot easier, and getting to a healthy weight has immense health benefits in and of itself.

You should always do both, but as is always said, you cannot outrun or out exercise your mouth. It's completely impossible. You absolutely MUST control your diet as well as exercise to be healthy.

Losing weight is a long term project. You have to change the diet permanently for it to have a lasting effect, so starting there is going to be easiest. Exercising will absolutely make it more effective, but some people are not going to be able to do much at first. 15-20 pounds can be the difference between hurting your feet/knees/back, or not.

100%, if you are a lard ass then de-lardify yourself first, although you can certainly lift weights at almost any weight. If you can stand up you can do some weights.
