We are simply too comfortable in our current lifestyle where everything is at our fingertips. Who wants to get up and do anything if you don't have to?

You just do some cardio workout everyday like jogging and running for miles. That would effectively burn the fats in your body. The most effective way to lose body fat is through exercise.

I just want to say thanks for what you do. (Can't remember if I have before but I just felt the need!) You deserve some kind of medal for debunking all the fitness industry's bullshit and I wish everyone trying to lose weight/get in shape finds your blog. Your basic philosophy of "just eat less" has saved from all the ridiculous fat gram counting protein guzzling obsessing... and it's helped me recover from an eating disorder too. (It wasn't the life threatening kind, but it sure did suck.) I am now getting into the shape I want to be in, and I feel so healthy doing it. Thank you, thank you thank you. Alice Brad,

I didn't even think it was that high for women. That is serious! The other thing that I like is I am actually an outlier :) Thanks to ESE I can workout hard, eat like I have a life, and still be an outlier. Just DO it! Anna Hi Brad, really great post.

The reason I ask is that I think these numbers are on the high side because DEXA scans were used. I was consistently getting calliper readings of around 15% bodyfat from multiple different people doing the measurements but when I did a DEXA scan, it came back at 25%! I remember also reading a website one time (the name escapes me) that said body builders and the like that report 3 -4% bodyfat are deluding themselves, and that achieving results that low is completely impossible if you were to use gold standard methods of measuring. Thanks! Brad,
