�hunger.Dr. Jean Mayer, professor of nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, said the kind of diet which would keep an unexercised desk-sitter lean, had to leave him hungry. That's why dieting for weight-reduction ends in fiascoes, she added. No one stands up to hunger for very long without ever-increasing discomfort.Regular ExerciseTherefore, continued Dr. Mayer, regular exercise, however difficult it is to get or how distasteful, is preferable to hunger - since medical science agrees that excessive body weight is unhealthy and life-shortening.She has added her voice to those of a number of eminent authorities, including Dr. Paul Dudley White, who urge more regular exercise for the millions who get very little and either fatten or hunger.Her main contribution was a denial of two ideas about weight control through exercise which are held by many persons, including professionals who should know better, she said. Idea one is that exercise works off relatively little weight, so shy exercise to get leaner. Idea two is that exercise only makes you hungrier which causes you to eat more which adds the poundage exercise took off.26 Pounds a YearIt's true that you'd have to split wood for seven hours to burn off one pound of fat, she said, but who expects any man to split wood for that long at a stretch? A healthy man could devote a half hour a day to it without straining himself and in a year he would burn off 26 pounds. That's what she and other, exercise advocates are talking about - moderate exercise but daily, day after day.It's also true that exercise increases appetite, but only for a limited time. As the body becomes accustomed to rgeular exercise, its demands for an increase in food input decreases, and in many cases requires less food that it had when it was not being exercised regularly.Regular Exercise or Hunger Choice for Many Americans
