Exercising Keeps Visceral Fat from Returning
After a year long study by exercise physiologists it was found that only those who continued exercising kept visceral fat from returning.
These results were tracked after participants went on a strict diet and lost an average of 24 pounds. They split the study participants into 3 groups of aerobic exercisers, resistance exercisers, and non-exercisers. After seeing great results in weight loss maintenance from the exercising group, the achievements of the non-exercisers were discouraging.
The group that did not exercise after losing the initial 24 pounds averaged a 33% increase in visceral fat within the next year. The point of the story is that exercise + diet is the key to long term success – not dieting alone.

How about giving us the source of the study so we can study it ourselves.

If there is any comfort in the healthy lifestyle world it is that the same nutritional and exercise principles apply to all diseases. We don't need different plans for diabetes, cancer prevention, arthritis management, etc. So I have no objection to hearing the same thing over and over again. We need repetition!
