I think not.....and this is coming from an exercise junkie with a whole foods, half hippie wife and years of trying everything....weighing my food, portion control, whole grains, calorie counting, tofu, low fat, largely vegetarian at times, extreme exercise (do you want me to explain the volume and variety) nothing has been as effective or as easy for me to stay with as what we have been doing for the last six months. Compliance is poor because the other methods don't work as well without extreme and I mean really extreme measures. Its rather annoying to read comments sometimes from folks that (presumably) are not battling the problem and I don't mean 20 pounds of winter fat I'm talking a lifetime of obesity. Think of it in the reverse......picture a super skinny guy who can't put on muscle no matter how much he eats and exercises and if he does manage to gain a few pounds as soon as he stops, he loses the added muscle and becomes the 98 pound weakling again. I would defy anyone to strap on 100, 200 maybe as much as 400 pounds on their body and just try to walk up a hill.......the heavy people who exercise put out a whole lot more effort than any 160 pound man merrily spinning away on his bicycle. Sorry guys but this topic is striking a raw nerve with me today because I don't think many people really understand what they are talking about......from experience.
