You've got that right. I thought that you were the poster; not the author.
“Diets don’t require “investigation” as you put it, they require two things: eating less and exercising.”
Anything, done well, will require investigation before implementation. In my experience, the diet is more important than exercise in simple weight (fat) loss. That required research, investigation, and trial and error.
“So I guess you don’t think an hour and a half of exercising four times a week is sufficient.”
Sounds great to me. My joints are bad, so I have to manage my weight (fat) mainly through diet.
“And Lean Cuisine, Protein bars and water beats the hell out of what I was eating before.”
That's great! Well done for trying to eat better. I've been on diets all my life, and after much trial and error I have found that the only practical as well as satisfying way to eat is low carb. That means cooking real food such as meat, dairy, vegetables, herbs and spices. I am not a talented cook, but there is a ton of info on how to cook food on the internet.
“What a pompous jerk.”
Are you saying that you, Mary C. Kirchhoff, wrote this and posted it on Free Republic, but didn't want any comments? I apologize. I must have misunderstood your intentions.
And I apologize to you for the name calling. Yes, I do want comments. I’m interested in hearing others stories of weight loss. Thanks for your reply.
