5. MOVEMENT DEFICIENCY AND EXCESSIVE SITTING

The final cellular/hormonal cause of fat gain relates to movement. Let me preface this section by making a critical distinction that most people have never even heard of: The distinction between movement and exercise. As you’re about to find out, these are very different things—completely distinct factors in fact, that need to be separated out to be understood properly.

Believe it or not, lack of exercise does not appear to be a major factor in the obesity epidemic. Here’s obesity scientist Stephan Guyenet on the matter: “Although I believe that exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle, and can help prevent fat gain and to some degree treat overweight, it probably can't explain the recent increase in fat mass in modern nations (i.e. the obesity epidemic). This is because exercise doesn't appear to have declined. There are various other possible explanations, such as industrial pollutants, a lack of sleep and psychological stress, which may play a role. But I feel that diet is likely to be the primary cause (of the obesity epidemic).”[103] (Note: parentheses are mine).
