5. Obesity is a disorder of excess fat accumulation, not overeating and not sedentary behavior.
6. Consuming excess calories does not cause us to grow fatter any more than it causes a child to grow taller.
7. Exercise does not make us lose excess fat; it makes us hungry.
I can't wait to get this book. I'm getting a copy for my Mum too. It's about time! He'd better bloody well get on Oprah, dammit.
And finally someone says it - exercise is for health and for muscle/strength and shaping...not for weight loss. And it does make you hungrier! Otherwise we could all just work out and keep eating however we wanted and lose weight; we can, however, change our eating and lose weight without exercise. My gym folk readily admit this too...you come to the gym to look good nekkid, not to shed poundage.
