I don't know if this ground breaking science but it makes for a interesting sounding study. I thought the science behind this was pretty well established.

Sort of off topic, but I have seen a couple episodes of the Biggest Loser and one thing always bugged me. Their focus on working out and not the diet. Every time I watched it they are either getting weighed or that big nose chick is yelling at them while they work out. Obviously exercise is good, but I thought the science says that the diet (calories in/calories out) was a much bigger factor in weight loss. I admire the idea of the show, but I would think it would be better for people watching if they talk more about the diet than working out. I am sure it wouldn't make for as good TV, but it would probably help more people lose weight than what I bet it actually does; sells gym memberships.
