Moderate + exercise burns about 100 calories per hour..about the number of calories you get from drinking one light beer. Yeah, those calories add up fast and can be very difficult to burn off.
I've done some reading on the topic of weight loss and exercise, and I've concluded that for most activities, it's not very helpful. One of the authors I like is Timothy Caulfield, who is the Research Director at the University of Alberta's Health Law Institute. He's written some books that critically analyze the diet industry, and some popular and celebritry diets. One of them is reviewed here:

Another of his books is titled: "Is Gwynneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything?"
There are some recent studies on saturated fats and diet, that are resulting in our national food guides coming under attack:
