People often overeat when they start exercising, either because they're hungry from the exercise, or because they feel can indulge a bit as a reward.

My view is that most people should ignore exercise and fix their diet first, only easing in to an exercise routine slowly once they start to see weight loss results.

Agreed. In the last few months, I've lost about 20 pounds via diet alone. I'm starting to incorporate exercise now, and it's a lot easier to keep going day after day since I can move easier, so I don't get discouraged as easily.
