I'll disagree with you.

Glad it worked for you, but you oversimplify, and if someone took you too seriously, he might just never make the change.

In my case, I felt so bad that being told "exercise exercise exercise" would have just meant "forget it forget it forget it."

In my case, I made the eating switch, and purposed to ramp up the physical activity as I could. To my great surprise, that was in fact almost immediately. But it was only as I felt better, thanks to the eating switch.

So I WALKED one of the three flights of stairs up, and all three down, instead of using the elevator, for a week. Then all three. And I parked further away. Then further. And so on.

To tell a grossly obese person that the first thing he has to do is exercise, is to give him one more reason never to think seriously about losing weight.

If you read Ribeye's post, it does advise to stay away from alot of carbs (flour, rice)...I believe his post was just trying to point out the need for commonsense in dieting.

For what its worth, I am a BIG fan of low carb eating.

I was only 15 pounds overweight, but I can't stand to exercise. However, I can easily take the stairs instead of the elevator. I can easily park a little further away. I also started taking my kids to the park and running around with them.
