Hmm... I know 2 people that went from obese to normal weight only by cutting down (drastically) their eating. No exercise. One went from 240 to 170 in 18 months (lost around 4 pounds/mo, or 1 pound/week) and is mostly off insulin, with his doctor's blessing. Granted, it's only a couple of people, but to say it's basically impossible doesn't seem right.
