I was 293lbs last December, 196 this morning.(6'3" male) Overall this was a good read; for me it really was accepting that my lifestyle was unhealthy and making permanent changes. That said I really dislike weightloss articles that speak in absolutes. Cardio helping weightloss isn't a 'myth'; if you can't impose enough self control on yourself to not eat more after cardio, then sure, it might not be beneficial. I know for certain that I wouldn't have lost weight as fast without doing cardio regularly. In fact a healthy choice oftentimes begets another and I would find myself eating less on cardio days. Same with protein after workouts. Sure it can be an excuse to eat more if you let it be, but if you're counting calories properly it is also a good time to intake protein.
