" [1] Somewhat to my own shame, I must admit to ignoring my own observations in this department - even after I saw no discernible effect on my weight or my musculature from aerobic exercise and strength training 2 hours a day 3 times a week, I didn't really start believing that the virtue theory of metabolism was wrong [2] until after other people had started the skeptical dogpile."
I am extremely skeptical of this portion, it would imply that Eliezer's body functions differently then literally every other person (myself included) I have ever known to make a serious attempt at working out.. 2 Hours 3 times a week? How long did you try this?
About a year.
Were you trying to diet at the same time? Have you ever tried exercising more without also restricting your food intake?
Also, have you ever enjoyed exercising while doing it?
Edit: Just to be clear, this isn't supposed to be advice, implicit or otherwise. I'm just curious.
Thanks for replying.
If you don't mind the continued probing: did your ability to lift grow over that time period? Or were you about constant the whole year?
