The most effective exercise for weight loss is fork put-downs.

I see fork put-downs touted by random influencers and life coach type people on the internet, but this feels like one of those things that sounds profound but isn't based on any research other than someone's individual anecdotal experience.

I'm skeptical that this actually does anything.

That is not what any of the studies I have read find, particularly not past the short term: past calorie restriction diets is one of the factors associated with developing obesity.

Isn't that a bit of a truism?

A _past_ calorie restriction is associated with a _current_ calorie surplus.

Obviously if the calorie restriction were being continued, one wouldn't be developing obesity.

"Fork put downs" does not mean a crash diet or anything like that.

It means permanently adjusting your caloric intake to levels that allow you to reach and maintain a healthy body weight and body fat makeup.

If you're eating 6000 calories a day there is no way you're out-exercising that diet while working a full time job.
