Less and more

A new study sponsored by the Nutrition Science Initiative in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health and Stanford University measured the effects of two different diet regimes; low fat and low carb.  Interestingly enough, it turns out both diets work if you stick with them.  The low fat diet lowers bad cholesterol and the low carb diet raises good cholesterol levels.  The bottom line, as in all diets is to eat less calories than your body burns.   Exercise is good, but not crucial to the goal of weight loss.  It turns out the amount of extra calories you burn during moderate exercise will not  impact weight loss.   It will help you stay in shape.  So, to recap, eat less to lose weight, exercise more to stay in shape.  Any questions?
