I do not agree with your statement.
What do you even mean by "normal exercise"?
I believe that most "normal" people are capable of doing enough exercise (combined with good eating choices) that they can lose weight.
For example, say you have a 1-hour lunch break each day. During that lunch break, you could easily go for a 6km run (30-40 minutes), as well as have time for a shower, and grab food. If you're prepared to have a faster shower, and eat a quick snack, heck, you could even make it a 10km run (50 minutes).
And depending on where you live, you might also be able to jog, or cycle to work - that's probably another 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity, depending on how far. (I have a 15-minute cycle each way).
And maybe some mornings, you could get up early, and go for a swim, or go boxing or something.
Either way, I personally know many ordinary people who manage to get a healthy amount of exercise, and achieve their weight goals.
I also have a friend who quite honestly, eats what seems to be an incredibly unhealthy mix - think large amounts of junk food and deep-fried fast food. However, they manage to stay reasonably slim (think BMI 18) by doing insane amounts of exercise (several hours a day). So it's definitely achievable, assuming you have that sort of willpower.
What studies are you referring to, that show that "normal" exercise will not cause weight loss? I'd be very curious to see them.
