Exercise causes weight loss only in that as you want to get more fit you start watching what you eat, quality and quantity, more carefully.

As a lifelong runner I know I only burn 80 calories or less per mile, that's nothing.

However exercise does things that no supplement or drug can do, proper AMPK and cAMP activation, endorphin and endocannabinoid release.
