Lose Weight The Slow, Boring Way
urbazewski writes "As spring gets underway (in the northern hemisphere anyway) it's a good time to start undoing the effects of a winter's worth of websurfing and gameplaying on your physical condition. A meta-analysis of studies of currently popular low carbohydrate diets by doctors at Stanford and Yale reveals that they are really just low calorie diets in disguise: 'findings suggest that if you want to lose weight, you should eat fewer calories and do so over a long time period." John Walker's 'engineer's approach' to losing weight is built around this astonishing insight, as described in his online book/weight loss plan The Hacker's Diet. The spreadsheets are out of commission, but the basic insights are an excellent antidote to fad diets." Ramen, Ramen, Ramen is not on the approved list.

Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
I know what you mean. I've got elaphantitis couplded with hyperactive spermatogenisis. If I don't get laid at least 4 times a day, I could die! Fortunately, the nurses down at the health center take good care of me.

Screw that - I like my carbs! In fact, I like eating without having to worry too much about my diet. I eat a healthy balanced diet, but I don't have to think to hard about it. Why? I'm a runner doing marathon training.
Exercise is the only healthy way to lose weight. Whether you're large or small, you should be concerned about being healthy, not thin and low in fat. If you can't run up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath, you have a problem... which isn't related to how fat you are.
