EVERYTHING you do burns calories. Walking to the bathroom. Breathing. Digesting. Picking up your kids toys. Your body burns calories just to function everyday. Lowering your caloric intake and then adding an hour of exercise each day is changing the ratio of the calories you expend and store. It's just like a checking account, if you spend more than you deposit, your balance is going to go down. Just like weight.
