People with low BMI aren't more active, they are just less hungry, 'run hotter'

Weight loss is like 80% from the kitchen, maybe 20% from the gym. Point being, if you just work out a little bit more you're probably also eating more as well.

I can only reliably lose weight when I increase my level of exercise. If that weight loss is 100%, I suspect it breaks down as:

* +40% - weight loss from burning more calories

* -20% - weight gain from eating more due to doing more sport

* +40% - less snacking from being away from food sources for more hours

* +20% - being more conscious of fitness and weight and being more disciplined about food
