And I keep pointing out that, no that is wrong. Because again, as I've tried to describe, weightloss is irrelevant. What is relevant is whether or not your body is storing fat. People all the time, cut down their calories to a low level and then exercise a lot. In the process, they feel terrible, and end up losing muscle, and very probably damaging their bodies. This is a lifestyle that of course can't be sustained, and in the end they boomerang and become even fatter (having a higher percentage of body fat, and having genetic stores of fat in various places).
While I never stated anyplace that you can eat more calories then you burn and not expect to have a problem, what I did state, from my own experience, is that you can sustain or even lose body fat by modifying your diet, the foods you eat, and the ways you consume those foods, regardless of whether you are exercising a lot or not. Again, I think people should exercise, but often people exercise, and don't change their diet, and can't understand what they are doing wrong, when they can't achieve the results they want. In fact, to get the results people often desire in terms of achieving a lean body mass, exercise and weight training and dietary and lifestyle changes are required. There is no way to get to a low body fat level without dietary changes, assuming that someone is already at a high percentage of body fat.
This is true for the vast majority of people, but of course doesn't include people who have a freakish metabolism, or who are exerting themselves far beyond the norm, (pro athletes etc).
