I knew it!  He's a fadist!  Well, I'll be...  And here I thought 
everyone was being too rough on him when he was new.  Now I come to find 
out he's been a fadist all along.  What a sneaky subversive Zionistic 
fadist.

Sorry.  I don't usually sink to the level of spelling flames, and I just 
felt the impulse to indulge a little.

But seriously, Chopper (if that _is_ your real name), let's look back at 
your original post in this thread.

<insert>
1) shift your diet toward low fat food
2) cut back on overall calories
3) do exercise that uses up calories, various CV exercises are good (running
etc), one of the very best that is rarely mentioned is hiking. A 5 hour
hike, especially in mountainous terrain uses up lots of calories.
</insert>

Frankly, numbers two and three were excellent points and number one was 
simply deeply cherished conjecture on your part.  If the OP lowers his 
caloric intake and raises his active (and passive) metabolic 
expenditures, he will lose bodyfat.  Case closed.

And yes, a day spent hiking (preferably while chasing a purpose built, 
slightly domed (with comlex curvature), high-tech plastic throwing 
object in the general direction of a metallic goal  [ 
http://www.disclife.com/ ]) is excellent excercise.

Number one flows not from any objective standard of health or weight 
reduction, but from your assumption that the origianl poster indulges in 
eating the over-saturated deep-fried crap so prevalent in America and 
our many consumerist zombie follower nations across the globe as well as 
the fascinating but ultimately doomed socialist/isolationist experiment 
just slightly north of us (oops, did I type that out loud?).

When looked at in this light, surely you can see where your argument 
parted ways with terra firma in search of a defensible position for your 
own personal theories?

No?

Well, I can.
