re: Study of Biggest Losers finds that the body wants and will fight to be Fat

As many people have pointed out in here, the way they lost weight is absurd, and that grapefruit, bread and low-fat chicken crap is a strong indicator to me that these people have no idea what a proper diet looks like. (Most don't as we've been told fat is bad for so many decades.)

I stopped running and cycclinf almost a year ago due to knee injury. I realized I was gaining significant weight as a result. I started focusing on diet and better exercises. Lost 25 lbs in no time. More importantly, lost a pants size and visceral fat. Not doing more exercise--actually less. Swimming has been key. And eating more fat, so i am not hungry afterward. And as you know, I'm in my 40s, with the attendant challenges I didn't face at all up until about 30.

My food cravings are much more emotional than they are biological, especially beer!

That article really was depressing, but not for this reasons it tried to portray.
