Respectfully disagree with the above reply. I lost over 100 lbs. in just over 1½ years, and kept it off. I doubt that just the strict nutrition plan that chronic kidney disease forced on me could allow me to lose this much weight, and successfully keep it off this long. I kept the nutrition plan going, I enjoy what I eat now, and appreciate the benefits of healthy nutrition very much. Cycling and the exercise has benefited me in other ways, too, I'll freely admit.

My physicians all agree the cycling, as my exercise means, played a very big part in both the weight loss, and in getting my kidney function numbers back to excellent status. Yes portion control helps and is a big part of losing weight, but exercise in order to use up the calories and benefit other parts of your fitness as well, plays a part in losing and in keeping weight off. You might read some of the threads in the Clydesdale/Athena Forum where so many have used, and attribute their successful weight loss to cycling. No real issue with your thoughts, just that I have found differently.
