Of course the more you exercise the less likely you are to want to stuff your face.

If you just have a proper diet for a while, you don't get rid of much fat, mainly the muscle, and when you fail with the diet for a few days the fat piles on as the body thinks it needs to store up in times of plenty for the next lean period.
Exercise encourages the body to keep the muscle and get rid of the fat.
Also regular exercise allows the body to use those excess calories on those 'off' days (normally Thursdays when they give cake in the canteen :-)

Heck, AFAIK the body catabolises muscles when they aren't used and will regenerate them quickly when you exercise and eat. They also burn energy just in existing, which is perhaps why the body is keen to burn them off when energy is scarce.

People who haven't a clue, i.e. have never actually lost a stone or two themselves and kept if off for a few years, are the ones who advocate exercise as a significant part of the solution.

Well.... I find a significant amount of exercise is the key.
Mainly because it restricts the opportunities to have a snack.

This comment below the article said it better than I did
I'm surprised the author is surprised. It's quite obvious that you have to do a vast amount of exercise (3000 calories worth, or about 8 hours jogging) to lose one pound in weight. It is ALL about what goes in the mouth and very little about how much exercise you do. Exercise is vital for your heart, lungs, cardio system, muscles bones and joints, but it's the food that makes you fat and it's the reduction of food that makes you slimmer.

45 minutes running on treadmill at 7mph equals one blueberry muffin (420 calories)

Intake - Expelled - Calories Burned = Weight adjustment
No matter how fancy the diet or the science behind it - it all comes down to that...

If you're dumb enough to think you can eat kebabs every day but a run around the block twice a week will sort you out you deserve to be fat.
These articles always take things out of context. Of course exercise alone with a shabby diet won't be very effective. Just as a limited calorie diet but being completely sedentary might help you lose weight but you'll lose all your muscle as well and set your body on starvation mode making weight gain far more likely in the long term. Combination of exercise and healthy diet is the only effective way to lose weight in the long term.
People who 'earn' a muffin by going for a run aren't likely to be particularly fit or healthy.
