Effort. It takes less effort and is less daunting to the imagination of most people to just either 'not do anything' (AKA fasting), or modify what they eat slightly (AKA 'dieting'). The idea of physical pain and the time it would take means they have less time to gawk like idiots at their electronic rectangle of constant stimulation.

>>14312201
Because exercise is an inefficient method of burning calories.

At 80-90% of max effort (measured by heart rate) an average adult can burn in the region of 5-7 calories per minute.
That means an hour of pretty strenuous exercise could burn 300 to 420 calories.
A pound of fat contains 3500 calories, so if you did one hour of strenuous exercise a day it would take between 9 to 12 days to lose one pound.

Conversely, by adjusting your diet you can very easily run a 1000 calorie deficit per day and lose 2 pounds a week.

Not saying you shouldn't exercise. Its important for fitness and general well-being. Just don't expect to lose significant amounts of weight unless you do multiple hours of cardio multiple times a week.

Between work, commute, trying to cook, and getting 8 hours of sleep, adding in two hours of exercise would literally mean I would do nothing but cook, workout, work, and get ready for work. All while being stressed to the max managing a multimillion dollar budget.

Because exercise does not burn nearly as many calories as you think it does.If you do weightlifting for 2 hours you'll burn like 500 extra calories. If you eat a medium sized piece of cake you're adding like 600-800 calories. The calories you get from food FAR outweigh the calories you burn with exercise, therefore caloric restriction will always be necesary to lose weight, regardless of your exercise routine.
