[QUOTE="thehrrf, post: 7158387, member: 6892946"] Agree with everything that you wrote there. My absolutist take on dieting is in regard to reduced calorie intake, which didn't work well at all for me. I exercise a lot (by white collar standards, I won't pretend to be on the same page as the guys carrying shingles up ladders all morning) and have for all of my life. When I cut calories I cut weight fast (BMI down 4 points in 3 months) but lost all of my energy and motivation to move at the same time. Going to the gym felt like a aching chore instead of a reward. That may have been good for my knees and heart but it was no good at all for my quality of life, and more importantly if a starvation-mode metabolism takes the fun out of the gym for a born meathead like me then how is a fatty who's indisposed to exercise in the first place going to stick with it? A diet to cut the sugar, alcohol, and white flours out on the other hand is a good thing for anyone no matter how thin you are. [/QUOTE]
