Not sure I understand. If I exercise, I raise the number of calories
that IQuoted message said:Quoted message said:burn. For example, assume that I'm "overeating" by 200 calories per
day,Quoted message said:Quoted message said:and engage in no exercise. If I keep my diet exactly the same, but

But, perhaps you're just playing word games here (it wouldn't be the
firstQuoted message said:Quoted message said:time, eh?). By definition, one can never lose weight through exercise,
surgery, 2PD, or any other method if one is "overeating".Both gastric bypass surgery and the 2PD-OMER Approach directly address
and stop the overeating.But, wouldn't 2PD be "overeating" for some people?
No.
Quoted message said:For instance, someone
who is in a persistent vegetative state (e.g., the late Teri Schiavo)?
32 ounces of Isocal (as an example of what is typically given for tube
feeds) would not be overeating.
Quoted message said:And, wouldn't it be "undereating" for someone who performs heavy physical
labor, or who participates in endurance sports?
Not in my experience as a participant in endurance sports.
Quoted message said:For instance, I rode my bike 602 miles in April, at an average speed of
16.24 mph, with nearly 34,000 feet of climbing. I estimate that I burned
around 27,000 calories as a result of this exercise. I'm already at the
15th percentile for weight, based on my age, gender, and height...if my diet
only permitted 2 lbs of food per day, I would probably lose a dangerous
amount of weight, or experience decreased performance on the bike, or both.
Ime, performance in endurance sports increased rather than decreases
after eating the "right" amount. Note how well the Kenyans do in
marathons despite their slight build from eating the "right" amount.
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Exercise and dieting can occur concurrently with overeating.
Yes, but exercise can also turn "overeating" into "weight loss", without a
change in the quantity or composition of the food consumed.
"Folks who rely on exercise to counteract their overeating will
ultimately become overweight."
