>I found food intake was the primary mover for weight control, not exercise
Excellent point which people seem to not understand. The amount of calories you burn running an hour can be equal to a very little amount of food - one candy bar.
Naturally ignoring the fitness benefits of exercise a small reduction in calories can equal a lot of heavy exercise.
It's a bit of a sensitive subject for some people. They just don't want to face the fact that their appetites/habits are the single biggest obstacle to good health and weight control.
A friend pointed out to me once "food has a lot of energy in it." I have never measured a candy bar's actual effects, but I suspect it would take a few miles of running to use one up?
