For many truly sick people, including some cancer patients, weight gain is not a bad thing. An old prof of mine, a man dying of pancreatic cancer, once said to me "A whole life of the doctor telling me to exercise more, and suddenly he is worried about me loosing weight too quickly."

These don’t conflict with each other though, the benefits of exercising extend beyond weight loss.
