Diet NOT exercise is the key to weight loss, claims leading personal trainer

[Thin Lizzy]

While it's true that any fat loss program is to cut calories or less calories in and more energy expended with the goal that the deficit will be made up from burning fat stores, but they take in too fewer calories the body basically slows down and you're right back to square one. Low calories diets don't always use more body fat either. In this case dyslexic was correct in saying that muscle will be burned first, it's just easier for the body since there are only four calories per gram of protein (muscle) as opposed to nine calories for fat.

Is your 4 vs 9 calories really the right comparison, or is it the number of calories it takes to covert protein to sugar via gluconeogenesis vs how many calories it takes to turn fat to energy?

The biggest misconception perpetrated when it comes to weight loss...is "weight loss". The fact is, that almost anyone can lose weight, but to lose body fat is totally different concept and most of the 'weight loss' population just don't understand that. People want instant gratification, so the faster the better when in fact the right way is and should be slower process. So what's the first thing they do? The go on a low calorie diet.

In short, the more lean muscle you build, the more efficiently the body will burn fat. There's  A LOT more to this but this is just the small part of it. But this dude in the article is a complete fraud, again, being perpetrated on the public.  

Serious question not just for you but everyone else to. If you were to make 3 categories,1-diet,2-training, and 3-PEDs/supplements, what would you say the breakdown would be? Me personally I'd go diet40%, training35%,supps 25%. Or maybe 35% each diet/training,30%supps

This is what people want to believe, that they can "work off" anything.

Exercise is for health and fitness.

Diet controls bodyfat.

Note that the exercise for weight loss proponents on this thread are all trainers.

It's understandable why a reality weight loss show would focus more on exercise, as it's not very entertaining to watch people NOT eat.
