And that probably won't change in 2013. For a lot of guys, adaptation to a white-collar workplace is simply not an option.

The question of how to lose weight is tricky, but I can clarify some aspects of metabolism that will allow you to plan your caloric balance to achieve fat loss. Weightlifting: Miracle Fat Burner? No -- but it's still important. Weightlifting, or any kind of resistance exercise that can include things such as body-weight exercises, Pilates, some forms of yoga and certain martial arts training, are damn important.
