Two 'doctor' programs on UK TV have had a GP (i think they were different GPs) say that several medical studies have shown that in the majority of cases, people who exercise more to lose weight don't lose any (or negligible) weight over a few months. The supposed reason being that all that exercise makes people hungry and so they eat more calories, they may even eat more calories than the exercise uses up and so put on more weight.
I mentioned this in a post a year or so ago.
Personally, I found that I lost weight by eating LCHF, then when I became fat adapted, I could start Intermittent Fasting and that having lost some weight (not much since I was slim in the first place) I found both that walking became more pleasurable and that I could walk further and faster. But the weight loss definitely came first in my case and what started that off was LCHF without any additional exercise or calorie counting at all!
It depends on the type and intensity of exercise and how often you do it. Less than 5-6 days per week will not make any significant difference to your weight or blood sugars. As soon as you drop lower than 5 days a week then there are likely to be no weight or blood sugar benefits. Of course, doing some exercise is far better than doing no exercise. Doing some exercise will have different benefits like your heart and your general wellbeing.Exercise had absolutely zero impact on my weight loss. And my weight loss had zero impact on my blood glucose.
