Why Dieting Doesn't Work
Posted On 7/28/2006 9:30:20 AM by Sandy

Posted On 5/21/2008 1:36:12 PM by TriFatlete

It will also increase your basal metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories when you’re at rest. And running itself burns calories at a rate of about 115 calories per mile. But all of this together does not automatically lead to weight loss.
