"Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin"

     I am not real sure what to think of Clouds' paper.  My whole life you hear that you need to exercise to help lose weight and get in shape. Now he is trying to convince me that working out is just going to make me fatter?  I'm not sure I believe this.  I have seen differences in myself and in other people when they work out and begin to lose weight.  I am not sure that he backs up his theories either.  He gives you different papers to read or videos to watch to try and back up his claims, but it doesn't ever say if these are reliable sources.  I have always been told that muscle weighs more than fat and I agree with that so I understand the more muscle a person builds the more it looks like you are not losing or even possibly gaining weight.  I don't think he even approaches this topic at all.  He talks about fat turning into muscle and the calories it takes to do this process, but he never approaches the topic of muscle weight.  I am not convinced by his argument.  I think he puts up a very good argument, and he tries to back it up.  I am just not totally convinced that I agree with him.  In my opinion, I believe that exercise works to help lose access weight.  I do agree with his idea that people are more hungry when they do work out and are more likely to choose the wrong foods to eat when they do go to eat.  I think he has an interesting argument; I just don't agree with it.
