It is this, right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, headline: &amp;ldquo;No Need to Diet and Exercise to Lose Weight.&amp;rdquo; A major debunk. &amp;ldquo;A new study debunks the widely held belief that diet plus exercise is the most effective way to lose weight. Researchers report that dieting alone is just as effective as dieting plus exercise.&amp;rdquo; It\u2019s very simple. &amp;ldquo;Dr. Leanne Redman of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said, &amp;lsquo;For weight loss to occur, an individual needs to maintain a difference between the number of calories they consume everyday and the number of calories they burn through metabolism and physical activity.&amp;rdquo; More people burn more calories through metabolism than they do through exercise. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/osing_Weight_Does_Not_Require_Exercise.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"230\" height=\"192\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>When I first heard this gunk, &amp;ldquo;Rush, you gotta exercise to lose weight.&amp;rdquo; I\u2019d be embarrassed to tell you how many total pounds I\u2019ve lost my whole life without doing any exercise. I\u2019m not condemning exercise. Don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m not condemning exercise. It\u2019s good for you and all that in a whole lot of other areas, but losing weight does not require exercise. It\u2019s not something that must be part of the regimen. It simply requires eating less. That\u2019s it. It has worked for me. Folks, I\u2019ve lost 90 pounds three times in my life without taking a step beyond the normal steps I took in a given day. I\u2019ve lost 40 pounds four times. My whole life I\u2019m either weight gaining or losing. The longest I\u2019ve maintained a weight in my life when I became an adult, let\u2019s say after 18 years old, was probably 18 months. It\u2019s just the way I\u2019m built. There are a lot of people like this, and this story goes on to say it. <\/p>\n<p>&amp;ldquo;Redman and colleagues found that the diet-only group and the diet plus exercise group lost roughly the same amount of weight, albeit by different means. They lost about 10 percent of their body weight, 24 percent of their fat mass and 27 percent of their abdominal &amp;lsquo;visceral\u2019 fat &#8212; the deep internal fat linked to heart disease risk. Therefore, if the goal is purely shedding pounds, diet or exercise will work,&amp;rdquo; but you don\u2019t have to do both at the same time. Diet or exercise will work. What they conclude is that people are &amp;ldquo;genetically programmed for fat storage in a particular pattern and that this programming cannot be easily overcome by weight loss.\u2019 You can lose the weight but you\u2019re genetically programmed to put it back on. Your body has a set point weight that unless you really watch it and are disciplined you\u2019re going to always find, which explains the roller coaster thing. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not trying to be vicious about this, and I\u2019m not trying to be nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, told you so, and all that, but I am at the same time, because this is something I\u2019ve known all of my life. The only reason this is important to me is, again, I just really hate it when I see so many people get sucked into myths and start believing it and then they become proselytizers and preachers and all this sort of stuff, and then the condemnation begins. So anyway, put that in your pipe and smoke it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I opened the last hour talking about exercise and diet and how you can lose weight without exercise if you diet. You don\u2019t have to do both. You can lose weight exercising, too. You\u2019re just not going to do it as fast. When I learned this, when I found out you have to run an hour to jog off a 200 calorie dessert &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; you can\u2019t fool me that exercise loses weight. Well, here\u2019s another related story, just to show you how stupid the Drive-By Media thinks that we are. This is from Health Daily News, the signs of binge eating. If you have binge eating disorder, here are the signs. &amp;ldquo;A person with the disorder often eats quite rapidly, may not stop eating when they are full, and usually feels unable to stop. These actions often are a response to stress, anger or being emotionally upset, the Nemours Foundation says,&amp;rdquo; whatever the heck that is. The foundation offers this list of common warning signs for binge eating disorder. &amp;ldquo;Eating very quickly. Eating until extremely full or uncomfortable. Eating large amounts when not hungry. Being too embarrassed to eat around other people, or eating alone. Feeling guilty or disgusted after binge eating. Excessive weight gain.&amp;rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Why don\u2019t we add another one to this. This is so worthwhile, so timely, so informative, let me add another one to the list. If all the food in your house is gone, you have a problem.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/osing_Weight_Does_Not_Require_Exercise.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: What is it that I\u2019ve been right about my whole life that everybody\u2019s told me I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about?
