A 12-week supervised exercise program that burns about 10.5 megajoules per week leads to comparable decreases in body fat and fat mass in overweight and obese men and premenopausal women, with no meaningful difference between the sexes.

Overweight and obese adults who complete a 12-week supervised aerobic exercise program that burns about 10.5 megajoules per week show increased feelings of fullness after eating a standard meal, and this effect is similar in both men and women.

In overweight and obese adults, doing 12 weeks of supervised aerobic exercise that burns about 10.5 million joules per week does not change how much food they eat daily, even though they feel hungrier when fasting.

The more you move each week while dieting, the more fat you tend to lose, even if you’re eating the same amount.

In young women with a BMI between 25 and 27, participating in supervised group aerobic exercise three times a week for 12 weeks leads to measurable decreases in body weight, waist size, and body fat, along with an increase in muscle mass.

Over 12 weeks, a supervised aerobic exercise program that burns about 10.5 megajoules per week raises hunger levels after fasting in overweight and obese adults, but does not change total daily hunger or differences in satiety between men and women.
