Let's see if I have this right:
CQ: In order to lose weight, you must eat fewer calories and/or exercise more (preferably both).
Basile: It's not that simple, blah blah blah, I invented hypertrophy, blah blah blah, flotsam, blah blah blah....
Actually, Vince, at base it IS that simple:
Consume more calories than you expend, you will gain weight. Expend more calories than you consume you will lose weight.
Prove this statement wrong... I dare you.
