As a fairly muscular guy who has dealt with overweight for more than two decades, I wholeheartedly agree. Half an hour of weightlifting burns like 120 calories, about two corn tortillas. It's stupid how efficient the body is at extracting energy from food.

I've also accepted that changes in activity strongly influence your health, and changes in eating strongly influence your weight.

The crazy thing to me is that since losing that weight people don't believe me and think I must be lying that I ever weighed more. I've even whipped out a photo once to prove it.
