Having been on various diets most of my life, especially
those "weight loss" ones that are low everything, all I can
say is that nothing worked until I went paleo.  Whatever
carbs I get now come from the fruit and veggies - I eat no
grains, potatoes, beans or dairy.  I went wheatless (celiac)
about Feb 1 and full paleo about Apr 1 of this year.  I have
not changed my activity level.  Weight loss so far in 2002
is 35 pounds and is still dropping about 2 pounds a week.  I
heard years of advice to "get moving, you gotta exercise"
from the doctor who put me on diet pills at age 7 thru the
well meaning but misguided relative who sent me Richard
Simmons tapes a couple years ago for Xmas.  Thus I must say
that in my experience exercise has little to do with it.
Maybe for others it is different?
