Damn I'm thankful for good genes. Life almost wouldn't be worth living without carby Italian food... :'(

Funny was just reading hacker's diet (http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/)
Basically what this guy says is that forget everything you heard. The secret is to burn more calories than you eat. (I bet you were not expecting that ;) )
He says you can either run for 1 hour and burn 350 Calories . Or skip the Cheeseburger.
Interesting read. The whole book (short easy to read ) is online at

Pinballjim, yes, I am in pain denying myself the pleasures of Corn Syrup and Trans Fats. Oh, and let's not forget the infinite joy of smoking ... ::)
I think cancer, obesity or an early heart attack probably would qualify as risks well worth minimizing.
Yes, Lokki, that diet is way too simple. Calories are not equally "burned" by the body as fuel. There are enzymes, bacteria, acids etc. that complicate the process, not to mention a lot of other science that isn't even fully understood about how the body actually metabolizes food and stores energy. It's true that excercise can be the great balancing factor against many unhealthy choices, but counting calories is really a waste of time.
shorthair:
Absolutely three things:
1. metabolic typing.
2. eat whole, organic foods.
3. body-weight calisthenics (a la THE ROYAL COURT).
Anything else just can't compete.

Does that mean that I have to eat an entire watermelon in one sitting. Or a cow?
