If through exercise, you get the conveyor belt going rapidly in the direction that is burning off fat, it keeps going that way for some time even after you have stopped exercising.

It is as if the body builds up a metabolic momentum that keeps the process going for some time afterwards on its own. Which explains why people who exercise can generally eat more in calories than they burn off with the exercise, and still remain slim. They have pushed their bodies into a more efficient sugar metabolism, which continues to work in that mode even when they are not exercising.

Obviously, then, exercise is a natural accompaniment to dieting. If, through exercise, you can press the body into a more efficient sugar metabolism, you will not have to watch over every last calorie.

This means that every so often you can have your extra piece of cake and eat it too. And you can overindulge now and again in other ways without fretting, because the exercise will take care of those occasional extra calories. So if you are at a party some evening and have more to eat and drink than your diet allows, not to worry. Your pumped up muscles and your pumped up metabolism will be putting them on the conveyor belt to the furnace. We have all noticed this in our friends that are in great shape.

Prescription #4 is: Get enough exercise.
