          Nice piece.  There are a lot of us "running around" these parts who are a few pounds overweight, but not unhealthy by any standard internal measures.  I personally want to lose weight out of vanity and a yearning to be faster, not for any actual health reasons (my BP is on the low side and my cholesterol/triglycerides are freaky good).

           

          I did raise my eyebrows at one line,though:

          "On the other hand, Dr. Spiegelman notes, they resisted weight gain, even on a high-fat diet, and their blood sugar levels remained stable."

           

          Well, yeah...it's not generally high fat that wreaks havoc on blood sugar, it's high carb.

              It may also explain what we've been talking about when we say that we're "training" our bodies to burn fat more efficiently for endurance running.
