re: Weight loss and staying in shape, it isn't that difficult.

You can’t scarf cheeseburgers and chocolate cake while snacking on skittles all day but think you’re going to run 10 miles a day and lose weight. Your body will revolt against you if you feed it shite and do high calorie burning exercises.
I agree that you get a little less efficient, but I'm a prime example that you can in fact do this. I was training 15+ hours a week for a triathlon. I would regularly eat like a glutton. Like go for a bike ride, then eat a half dozen donuts. And that was taking 900 calorie drinks with me on the bike ride. I maintained or lost a little throughout the whole process. And I realize that maintaining kind of sounds like I'm proving your point, but I think one might underestimate the crap I ate. Like cookies with every meal, two breakfasts, etc.. If I would have wanted to just eat healthy stuff and ate to fullnes, I'd have lost a lot. You burn the calories, and the food won't hit the waste line.
Again, I realize that too much of an extreme will change your metabolism, etc.. But for 4 months or so, I ate whatever, burned it off, and probably lost 5-7 lbs in the process.
