Dieters experience drops in basal metabolic rate, in spite of daily exercise

The International Association for the Study of Obesity has bad news for dieters: as reported in the New York Times, the commonly held belief that exercise is a magic metabolism booster may be largely unfounded. A new study finds that people who lost weight experienced drops in basal metabolic rate (BMR), in spite of daily exercise.    

This presents a maddening Catch-22: weight loss means lower BMR, and lower BMR means inhibited weight loss.

Does this mean weight loss efforts are doomed to fail? Not necessarily, says Scott Steil of Nutra Bridge. Nutra Bridge represents the patented ingredient 7-Keto®, which has captured national media attention for its metabolism-boosting effects. Minneapolis-based Humanetics Corporation is the exclusive patent-holder for 7-Keto®. The all-natural, stimulant-free ingredient has been clinically proven to boost metabolism rates, even among people losing weight via diet and exercise.

"It's extraordinary enough that 7-Keto® prevents drops in metabolism among these groups," said Steil. "The fact that it was actually found to increase metabolism in spite of weight loss is nothing short of groundbreaking."

    I'm having a hard time finding this article in the New york Times or anything that even TOUCHES on such a subject on the official site of the Int'l Association for the Study of Obesity.
    If there is such an article, where is the link or information about when it was published? I'm crying foul here.
