Some good takeaways there.

#3Good advice, though I think he overemphasizes the gym. The point of exercise is to emphasize how much overeating costs you. It's harder to justify that candy bar when it equates to an hour of hard exercise.

#4So to lose weight, all I have to do is eat <1300 calories and work out for 3 hours daily? Sounds simple enough...

An hour of hard cycling burns about 700 kcals, which is a medium-sized meal. A candy bar is on the order of 250 kcals typically.

This is some sort of radical fad of eating less and exercising?
Perhaps they will make a pill for this?

#8I found Hacker's Diet (http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/) by John Walker (Autodesk founder) to be entertaining reading by itself, it also has some useful advice.
The Abs Diet (http://www.amazon.com/Abs-Diet-Six-Week-Flatten-Stomach/dp/1...) is written in a bit over-patronizing language for my taste, but has a lot of useful info about different nutrients, how to read food labels, how to structure meals to keep blood sugar level constant, etc. Exercises in the book are not bad too.
By combining these two approaches I was able to steadily loose weight and feel better for more than a year. Recent change it lifestyle changed that, I'm looking into reworking my routine to get back on track again.

For many it's easier said than done.

#10Building up muscle tissue also helps you burn calories faster when not working out. Cool little details I learned at the gym.
This is a very common myth.
To their surprise, the researchers found that none of the groups, including the athletes, experienced “afterburn.” They did not use additional body fat on the day when they exercised. In fact, most of the subjects burned slightly less fat over the 24-hour study period when they exercised than when they did not.[1]
