Interesting ideas and great detail to back it up. I'd like to insert my 2 cents, which is that people have widely varying experiences using exercise for weight loss. In my case, exercise suppresses my appetite. My overeating is mood-driven, and exercise is known to improve mood, so this isn't surprising. Anyone whose overeating is driven by depression (mild or serious) or another mood disorder should consider regulating their mood through exercise.
