Couldnt agree more with the comment before mine. I've lost 45lbs this year after quitting smoking and focusing on my own health -- I've learned a lot.
One of the most important things ive learned is that starving myself of calories is not going to help me lose weight. it's going to do the opposite -- my body resists the ability to lose fat when i am starving myself.
I agree with the article, that calorie deficits are the most important part (instead of focusing on say carbs or fat content)-- however, just like anything else in life, its easy to take this too far.
