Also exercise does nothing for weight.

You burn one calorie per 5 stair climbed and less than 20 per minute running.

That depends on what you do. If you're exercising for strength, you won't lose nearly as much weight as you would if you were doing cardio (which should be happening anyway - cardio is important).

But if you were to do 30-45 minutes of cardio each day, you'd end up with anywhere between 800-1100 extra calories burned weekly depending on how hard you go.

I definitely would agree that proper dieting is much more effective for losing weight, but that doesn't mean 'exercise does nothing for weight'.
