I think about weight loss in the respect of a balance too. I know I am not going to lose weight if I am not exercising. On the other side, instead of counting calories, I look at how much fruits and veggies am I consuming. The more veggies and fruit I eat usually translates to less calories consumed.

If you consume more calories than you burn, regardless of if the calories come from carbohydrates, fats or proteins, your body will store the surplus calories as fat and you'll gain weight. Some foods may get stored as fat more easily than others because of the way they affect your hormones or blood sugar, but too much of any food will get stored as fat. Since you must create a calorie deficit if you want to lose body fat, what's the best way to create this deficit? Should you decrease calories, increase your physical activity, or do a combination of both? The most effective way to lose body fat is by decreasing your calories a little and increasing your physical activity a lot.

It is the true revelation of losing weight for LIFE. Once you've got this weight loss "secret" you will look and feel great. When I say you've got it, I mean knowing the theory and putting into action with every decision. I appreciate your post because it re-confirms my own new view of the body. I agree so much.
