Even if you love to work out, losing weight may be impossible unless you push yourself away from the table. Dutch and British scientists compared activity levels for Americans and Europeans now and in the 1980s, just before obesity rates started to climb, and discovered we’re getting the same amount of exercise. That means one thing: We’re overeating! If you want to drop a dress size, experts say, you’ll have more luck if you eat less instead of exercising more.

    I agree with the article because at one point I didn’t eat nothing but a couple snacks here and there for about 3 days and I lost about 4-5 pounds.
