[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1226478, member: 41816"] Hi LGC You may find this video interesting (I did!) It busts a few of the myths that we all believe - e.g the 1lb of fat = 3,500 cal. - apparently it is based on a double whammy of a mathematical miscalculation, and a simple inaccuracy about how the metabolism works - yet it has been dogmatised into blind faith across the world. Fascinating stuff. [MEDIA=youtube]wdznfiWvGq0[/MEDIA] There have also been some studies recently (sorry, have lost the links, but if I find them, I will post them) demonstrating that while exercise is an excellent thing, its contribution to weight loss is largely fictional. Diet, not calories, or exercise, is the main driver of weight loss at all ages, but especially after around 45 years - especially for those of us with glucose tolerance issues. [/QUOTE]
