I'm in total agreement with this....exercise is the key. As a 6'2" consumer of 3 pints of brew a night, I've hung around the 225 lb range for many years by taking brisk 30 min. walks 4-5 times a week. Every week, I saute (in olive oil) a pot of julienned peppers (red, green, orange & yellow) for hours untill they are nice and soft....and then combine a healthy portion of this with some chicken chunks or prosciutto, fresh spinach, a few tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of romano, some diced steamed asparagus, and some mashed cannellini or garbanzo beans (much lower sodium than the canned refried veggy beans) in a tortilla and nuke it for 2 minutes. Gotta throw on a couple of shots of my favorite 'Dr. Chilemeister's Sick & Deadly Insane Hot Sauce' and wash 'er down with a weizen! Yeah, I know that if it's in a tortilla, it should be called a Burrito ......but those cheese stuffed, sour cream laden 35 gram of fat things are in an entirely different category and I'm calling mine a Beerito!
