TLDR; Exercise alone won't help you lose weight, you need to combine exercise and diet changes.

True enough. You can't outrun a poor diet.

i would say that it's just extremely, extremely difficult to exercise away a bad diet. not impossible, but a strategy that is basically guaranteed to fail if you're a normal person with a normal job and life.
