It’s 100% about diet.

Exercise makes a small portion of what you can do. It’s a good supplement, but diet is by far the factor.

Calories taken in can’t exceed calories burned or calories required to maintain your current body weight

Not many people who work out burn enough calories to make a difference with their weight unless you’re an athlete working out at a high intensity. It’s good for you though.

The people in Colorado whom are fit exercise and are active, yes, but they also tend to watch what they eat more than people in the south.

They aren’t eating as many high calorie fried foods and other things full of butter like we do in the south.

Yes, but the shite most folks eat causes a metabolic death spiral. Seed oils, hydrogenated oils, sugars, and various sugar syrups make up most people's diets these days.

Get the kids outside and active and they'll not be eating all the time.

Inactivity rather than overeating could be driving the surge in Americans’ obesity, according to a study by a team of Stanford University School of Medicine researchers.

Examining national health survey results from 1988 through 2010, the researchers found huge increases in both obesity and inactivity, but not in the overall number of calories consumed.

“What struck us the most was just how dramatic the change in leisure-time physical activity was,” said Uri Ladabaum, MD, associate professor of gastroenterology and lead author of the study. “Although we cannot draw conclusions about cause and effect from our study, our findings support the notion that exercise and physical activity are important determinants of the trends in obesity.

Not for everyone. I disagree. I don’t monitor my diet much but run at least 5 miles every day. I’m not overweight at all.

shite, we have another advantage, especially those of us up in the mountains.

You simply dont eat as much at high elevation. My daily calorie count gets cut 10-20% by virtue of living at 9600'.

Bingo, you lose weight in the kitchen, and build muscle and endurance in the gym.

100% this.

My wife (no pics) 53yo lost 30 pounds early this year after going on this diet her fellow nurse friends had tried. Took three-four months, learned portion control and what foods to avoid. She's been off the official "diet" for 6 months and hasn't gained anything back.

Point is, she goes to the gym 4-5 times a week and works out hard. She's been doing this for years. She had slowly gained this weight over the past 10 years. She did not change her exercise frequency or workouts. It was strictly the food she's eating and portion control.

Facts. I was listening to a medical podcast about nutrition and the statistics show food is far and away the most important component when it comes to weight. On the same list, exercise is ranked 10th.

Look at Europe. Sure, they walk more because of public transport, but their food quality standards are way higher and their portion sizes are smaller. No one over there actually goes to a gym. You have to have a doctor’s note to exercise in a gym in Italy FFS and there are no fat asses there
