> it is never as simple as eat less, exercise more It is probably not an all encompassing model, however it's still one of the best approximations for what the average layperson should do to lose weight. With dieting and exercise, i went from a weight of 86 kg to 74 kg over a period of about 3 months (weighed myself daily, kept track of what i ate). Since then, with just dieting, i've gone from 74 to 70 kg in about 2 months. Is it hard to get nutrition right in such circumstances? Sure. Are there more factors that should probably be taken into account? Of course. Can improperly done exercise cause damage to the body? Yes, that's why people repeat that you need good form so often. However exercise most definitely works to some degree, even though i had to make myself to do a bit of it every day. I went from being able to do about 30 incline pushups to 150. From 30 situps to 150 as well. From being able to do 10 pullups, all the way to around 40, of course, all of the exercises divided into sets of repetitions with some rest inbetween. The numbers and targets could probably be fine tuned, but it was enough for me.
