You are probably very disciplined at not increasing caloric intake.

I think the point of the article was this:

1) exercise will not help you lose weight if you are unable to supress the increased appetite that comes after exercise (the research in the article showed most people don't do that very well);

2) exercise still has a number of other beneficial health effects
