Note also, however, that the researchers at Bellevue described
Stefansson himself as "remarkably flabby."
For the record, I regard the idea that diet alone -- *any* diet
-- can bring about excellent physical fitness without exercise as
utter rubbish. I would need to see a *lot* more evidence beyond
Stefansson's comments before I would believe this. And I rather
doubt that the Inuit that he observed led sedentary lives.
