And I did not become overweight again, I just gained a lot of muscle mass since 2008. There are more photos here, see for example that I still had a fat face in 2004.
Since end of 2009 I try to do the same with my education but only now I’m manging to gather momentum. It took me all of 2010 and the last two months to prepare myself.
Those effects look a lot like the ones produced by energy restriction to me.
I didn’t think that I was eating much less these days. Maybe because I stopped drinking alcohol back then? Starting to think about weight and doing exercise probably caused me to change my diet without noticing it. I’m still eating ice cream almost every evening and drink half a liter milk-cacao. Today I’m going to eat two soy cutlets with two eggs sunny side up, onions and fries with mayonnaise. In the morning I eat a pan full of oatmeal with milk and a handful of dried dates. In the evening it is often a pizza or bread with cheese and grapes.
For how long have you tried? It took me about 3 years and I still have to do sports 3 times a week to keep my current weight.

Careful with the ‘helpful’ suggestions. I think Eliezer has put enough effort into this that he will not respond well to this sort of assumption.
For many the benefits of exercise will not be in weight loss but rather the effects on health and mental performance.
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude. Now going to remove that sentence.
Not rude, just a sensitive subject in this instance. I inferred this due to either my exquisitely refined social sensitivity or the bold profanity. ;)
You attribute that to exercise?
