    On running days, I eat a lot of carbs. I had 2 bowls of Kashi cereal and a can of chickpeas already today.

    Sounds sensible. I will assume the steady diet is a healthy diet. An increase in fiber? Yes, from natural, healthy, whole foods.

    I can't do that. I prefer 5 smaller meals during the day. While ideally counting calories.

    Yes, carbs are good before cardio. Chickpeas and I don't get along. I like hummus, but the taste and feel of those hard little peas in my mouth is yukky. If I'm making hummus, I'll save the chickpea water and whip it -- like whipping cream. Add a little stevia and a dash of almond extract and yum!

    Avoiding the sugar is a big one.

    If you need something else to cut to lose weight skip the milk and cheese products. Those calories add up.

    I'd rarely meet my protein goals without non-fat and low fat dairy.

    I've always enjoyed them. I've often eaten them right out of the can but I'll use the dry ones in soup. They're great fried too whether whole or pureed. What do they call that? Falafel or something?

    The way she worded it, kind of made it confusing, in my opinion. The way I understood it, she's sounded like she was against trying to burn off more than you eat. That was in the very beginning of her article. But then she continued by saying, "This idea may work for someone who has NOT spent years yo-yo dieting (destroyed their metabolism in the process) ......"

    So, I guess that means burning off more than you eat works for people who have not destroyed their metabolism. Yo-yo dieting could mean anything - up 10 lb down 10 lb or up 100 lb. down 100 lb.

    Then in the same paragraph she says, "But that likely doesn't describe most of you." "Most of you....aren't morbidly obese."

    In the next paragraph she continues by talking about women who are trying "to shed those stubborn ten to twenty pounds." So it seems the article pertains to trying to help those women who would be so called "normal".

    So, I think you got it wrong, but I don't blame you because I had to spend a lot of time figuring out what she really meant. :-)
