That may be true. Heck, I don't know...

But currently my method is to lose weight by burning more calories through aerobic exercise (like cycling) because of its numerous ancillary benefits. That is, exercise is proven to improve overall physical and mental health and increase the chances of a person living a longer, happier, healthier life.

Dieting just reduces weight (for awhile). And its not nearly as much fun as a ride through the woods on nice, sunny morning...
