Live Science: 8 Reasons Our Waistlines Are Expanding

Cars, Chairs and Sofas
We don't move our bodies nearly as much as our hunter-gatherer ancestors, a fact that has likely contributed to our collective weight gain. Exercise is great for maintaining weight and regulating appetite...
But if you want to lose a bulge, or ten, and "you are not reducing calories, just exercising, it will take a very long time to lose a single pound..."

The eating to much and exercising crowd never seems to understand that one. It's all about how much u eat and how much you burn. It's a simple equation. No matter how much u burn or exercise if u eat twice as much as you burn you'll gain wt. Look at Sumo wrestlers as a perfect example of that equation. They eat and eat and eat and they sure do work out as well, really light weight aren't they?
Aging seems to be part of it. Its harder for me to lose the extra now.
This is true but only because as we age we do less and therefore burn less. When I was 19 I could surf from6 am to noon eat lunch and surf till 5pm eat dinner go out all night dancing or partying till 2am get up and do the same thing over and over again. Or when I was 30 I could work 12 hrs. a day and then do the same thing over and over. Now I can't do any of that but I still eat those meals. That's why we have a harder time as we age not because our bodies are older. Eat less and lose wt. especially less carbs.
