"Exercising is almost irrelevant,"

But still crucial. It has several other advantages.

It can't be almost irrelevant and crucial, that is nonsensical.

It is irrelevant because your appetite will also go up. Nobody talks about other advantages on well being, only about your weight.

"Nobody talks about other advantages on well being, only about your weight."

It is well established and recognized that not only does exercise improve brain health, it reduces the likelihood of several illnesses including many kinds of cancer.

If a person talks about nothing statistically speaking except weight they are either clueless or using "weight reduction" as an umbrella term for life style changes that improve the general wellbeing and may or may not reduce weight as well.

Obesity is certainly statistically very much correlated with several illnesses but if we are concerned with general wellbeing it is not the full story.

Exercise is crucial to health, but not to weight loss.
