I recently read an article by a fitness instructor who says if you're looking to lose weight, it's 80% diet and only 20% exercise. Interesting since he is a fitness instructor and trainer and not a dietician. In the article he says he sees the same overweight people sweating on the elliptical machines and treadmills day after day, week after week, month after month ... and they are still overweight.
If you want to lose weight and be in shape, look around your gym and see what exercised the overweight people do and skip them. Same thing when you go to the grocery store, look inside the cart of overweight people and buy the exact opposite.

Kind of a load of bull.
That overweight person in the gym may have just lost 100 lbs and has 50 to go. They might be actually eating healthy and have good groceries in their cart. I've seen far more skinny people eat crap if anything.
And the equation is actually wrong. It's 70% diet, 20% exercise and 10% genetics.
Exercise enhances a diet by burning some extra calories. But I think a lot of people misjudge how many calories they are consuming and how many calories they are actually burning.
It's all diet. You can exercise umpteen hours a day, but if you consume more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. Exercise is important for other health reasons, plus it does boost one's metabolism. So maybe 90-10 diet over exercise.
