>But pleasure is easy and ice cream tastes good. Balance is everything. That's why calorie restriction is a thing of beauty; eat what you want within the bound

  That's kind of what I did when I was 18. I'd eat a handful of dry cereal, run 5 miles, go to school, then walk uphill for 45 minutes to my job as a produce clerk lifting boxes and stuff, then skip dinner. On the weekends I would eat like a pig and play Oblivion all day. Still, I lost 50 pounds in 2 months. I do not recommend this. My lung popped (but it healed itself) and some of my hair fell out (it grew back) from the loss in protein intake. Like I said before, balance is everything. Still, I do agree it makes sense to be light on the weekdays and splurge on the weekends. After all, there's only so much food you can stuff down your gullet in a span of a couple of days without making yourself sick, regardless of your caloric intake from the previous week.

    >Still, I do agree it makes sense to be light on the weekdays and splurge on the weekends. Right. I make no claims about my method being "good". But I work long days, and commute. So I usually don't each during the weekday, then come home and have a great meal. Then TV and bed. I'm sure any benefits come from fewer calories eaten in aggregate.
