Exercise 'not key to obesity fight'
Physical activity has little role in tackling obesity - and instead public health messages should squarely focus on unhealthy eating, doctors say.

They said while activity was a key part of staving off diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and dementia, its impact on obesity was minimal.

Interesting to note about sugar levels. When I go off my diabetic meds and sugars rise, I bang on the weight. Bread is a real killer. Get the sugars down and it falls off.
