Interesting article! Diet vs. Exercise

Nice one. Both nutrition and exercise are vital for overall health and healthy weight loss. Gotta agree with you, Melis, re: calorie counting isn't bad. I don't think dismissing counting is appropriate, it's just important to recognize it's all estimates and obsessing over the minutia leads nowhere. But calorie counting is an excellent tool to help you be AWARE of the quality of food and the amount - like the checkbook analogy, no food is off limits (for me, at least), but I'm now aware of what it will cost me and that helps me make better choices.

Balance and moderation in everything!

P.S. i hope they come up with something that'd tell us about not only calories burned but also conversion of fat into muscles and the number of calories we burn after we're done working out etc :P
