Lawndart,
This is a wonderful observation. It is important to realize that weight loss and subsequent body fat loss can only occur when Energy In is less than Energy Out. Your personal experience shows perfectly that this can be done when either food and drink are decreased, and or exercise is increased, preferably both. I explain this in further detail in my "Truth About Weight Loss Article" found in the Article section of Hobokencafe.com
I must also ask permission to use your quote at the end of your post, I don't think I have ever heard it put better.
Thanks Again,
