<i>You cannot outrun the fork</i><p>I&#x27;ve never heard it said this way. I learned this lesson the hard way.<p>I struggled with weight for a few years after highschool. No matter how much more activity I added, I couldn&#x27;t lose the fat.<p>Then about 6 years ago I drastically changed my diet for just 4 months (paleo) and dropped from 240lbs to 185lbs. At that point, I was almost sedentary but still eating at least 1-2 very large meals a day, every day. Even though I&#x27;ve recently been less disciplined about my diet and exercise I&#x27;ve still kept most of that weight off.
