I used to be a miler, which was great for my condition, but when going longer distances you end up less running and more jogging, and jogging is downright bad for you.
Cycling is far healthier, anyway.

I usually do a mix between dumbbell exercises and short sprints. Over the years, I've done cycling, swimming, some running to train for a tough mudder, martial arts, crossfit. I like what I'm doing now which makes it healthier for me. It's all going to be healthier than sitting on your ass.

I have been running about 5 KM at 6-12 KM/hr speeds followed with 20 minutes of cycling. I believe that is good enough for me. To hell with these studies. Period.

You haven't noticed all the money they make? If everyone was healthy they would go out of business!

Ah, you mean last years/decades research that says fat is bad for you.
Nah, sorry, you arent up to date on the latest Ryan, now fat is good and transfats are bad.

Good point.
Some people might lose weight by chopping off their ass.

Eating more fat implies eating less sugar.

SO you cut down on smoking by eating more curries do you?
|

One can replace calories with calories (fat for sugar), but not replace a smoke with curries.
Unless I can smoke the curries.

Perhaps you eat the same sugar and eat more fat and get obese?

Unless you put sugar in your dairy products.
Fat/sugar ratios around 50:50 fool the body into thinking that you haven't eaten enough -- when did you ever feel full after eating ice cream?
I'll bet you never have; most people could continuously eat ice cream until they explode. You need to eat other stuff (either lots of fat or lots of sugar is OK) to trigger your body's "I've eaten enough" response.

Amazing.... Plus the other day I heard that another study has found that a full fat diet does not increase the risks of heart attack or stroke.
Seems like anything else with science anymore.... Just wait a while and all the guidance and assumptions will change....
Truthfully, if I hear another "The science is settled" on any subject where it is still all conjecture, I think I'll puke....
Oh wait.... my stomach is rumbling.....

There have been a lot of studies with these results for years, it's only now that it's reaching a more mainstream audience. I first started adding more fat to my diet after reading fatland ten years ago. It's a great read on how fat was systematically vilified over a period of years.

Before you do that, check to see how difficult it has been to do nutrition research, especially in America.
1. It's too expensive to get people to follow a prescribed diet for the years it takes, and then people cheat.
2. Surveys are one of the best tools, but then people lie, and mis-remember to feel better about themselves.
3. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is so awful, that almost any change has a positive effect. For example people cut fat by eating less fast food and improve. The effect isn't because of the fat, but that the fast food was so awful.
There are many other areas of medical science that can get much more accurate results, but even then there are so many other factors.

I think they know the difference anatomically they just don't know about anything between the two points.

The studies that were used to "prove" that dietary fats, especially cholesterol, caused heart disease were made a very long time ago and were extremely flawed. It takes the medical establishment years to shift its position. the only reason that fats are bad for you is they are high in calories and we're nearly all overweight! The food processing industry largely replaced fats with sugar to compensate for the lack of taste. In order to get around the loss of hard animal fats (cholesterol), margerine was introduced and hydrogenated vetetable oils replaced animal fats. The hydrogenization process creates trans fats as a by-product.
Both sugar and trans fats are now recognized to be bad for you. Sugar, depending on the quantities and what other food is consumed at the same time, is pretty much the cause of type 2 diabetes and a major contibutor to obesity. Trans fats are never good for you (unless starvation is the alternative!) The corollary is that we were duped into unhealthy diets exactly because of bad studies (I believe the first was from Russia in the 30s!)
These facts have been known for years. John Yudkin wrote "Pure, White and Deadly" in 1986 see link for downloads[^], but you still see "low fat" lauded as the be all and end all of a healthy diet. A low fat diet for infants is actually detrimental to healthy brain development (explains a lot, huh?)
So enjoy the Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puds and bacon sarnies (don't start about nitrosamines!) and stop worrying! 
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

And sodium. Oh God, the sodium. You eat a low fat diet, you're practically guaranteed to get an entire week's worth of sodium in one meal.

It probably increases the risk of hitting the "s" key instead of the "a" key when typing the word "diabetes", though.
