"Don't diet in a straight line." If you just read that and have no idea what it means, I will explain in a little a bit. But first... Ever wonder why you still see fat manual laborers?

In Part 3 of this How Not to Lose Weight series, I talked about how most of your weight loss results will come from your diet as opposed to exercise.

This part will look at what's more important: diet or exercise, and whether all exercises are equal. |
