    One aside: Diet is probably 70% of "results". You can train your little heart out, but if you aren't eating right, you won't see the gains or losses you were looking for. The biggest thing to pay attention to is net calories.

Where'd you get that number, 70%? I've heard things like that, and can even attest to it personally -- I've been active and exercising my whole life, but never experienced weight loss and a physique like when I fasted intermittently for 40 days. I just wonder what the percentage of "results" comes from diet really is. Is it overwhelmingly more than exercise?
