Yes, believe it or not, my saying is: Eat More, Exercise More. The trite saying: "Eat Less, Exercise More", is a myth. For longterm success, you must figure out what to eat and you certainly can eat more...I do.

Here's an article titled: Eat More to Lose Weight.

A 20-ounce soft drink packs 250 calories, a 12-ounce mocha coffee drink has around 300, the average mixed drink has 300, and a glass of wine or beer about 150. Multiply that by a few servings and you can see how the extra calories can spell trouble for your weight-loss efforts.

 While exercise does burn calories, what and how much you eat still matters. For example, a one-mile walk burns about 100 calories — so you'd have to walk for 12 miles to burn off the typical 1,200-calorie fast-food meal of a hamburger, fries, and a soft drink!
