Great article. Oh, yeah, I've learned (and re-learned many times) the truth of that. The only way I've ever been able to lose weight is though diet.

These days, my exercise is mostly about keeping my heart, healthy, because I have had heart issues in the past. I also keep my weight down for the sake of my heart and my type II diabetes. The good news is that eating healthy and biking allows me to completely control the diabetes, no drugs or shots needed. Also keeps my heart condition stable and healthy.

I have tried just about every form of exercise for the sake of staying healthy, but throughout my life, the one constant for me and good health has been the biking, probably because I don't bicycle for the sake of my health, but because I've always loved it so much. Maybe that's why it's worked so well. The health thing is a big bonus.
