No reputable doctor or metabolism expert would ever suggest that exercise alone can stop obesity. It must be paired with a simple, healthful diet that focuses on a reduction of low-hanging calories—the high-fat and high-sugar ones. It's just that exercise has been undervalued, and diet overexposed. Consider diet's dismal track record. Why are we so intent on repeating past failures?

Looking back at the past year for me, I lost over 50 pounds with a combination of a better diet and exercise. I'm sure I could have lost the same amount without the exercise but the challenge would have been much bigger. Running allows me to eat "normal" foods in amounts that satisfy my hunger.

No gimmichs, not fad diets, just eat less and exercise more. It's really not that complicated.
