Classic Definition: In “The Exercise Paradox,” Herman Pontzer asserts that greater physical activity does not allow people to control weight. He goes on to describe studies on how the human body burns calories that help to explain why this is so.

Modern Circumstance: But in one of these studies, “couch potatoes” expended an average of around 200 fewer calories a day, compared with moderately active subjects. A difference of 200 fewer calories a day equates to more than 20 fewer pounds a year. Year after year after year, that really adds up.

Paradox Example: Cyclists participating in the Tour de France are said to ingest more than 5,000 calories a day. This would seem to be way too much. So why do they do it? And why don’t they become obese?
