New study reveal that a quarter of gym users gain
weight when they start exercising. Gym-goers add weight because they allow
themselves a treat after working out.
The survey found that 39 per cent of people burn as
little as 300 calories during each visit to the gym making them susceptible to
weight gain if they then treat themselves to a high-calorie snack.
The survey found that regular gym sessions gave
dieters a 'feeling of complacency' which made it more difficult for them to
stick to their recommended daily calorie intake.
It found that
26 per cent of gym users actually put on weight after starting regular
exercise.
