That study is ridiculous.

I visited Paris for three weeks, and ate like a pig. Three course dinners every night, big lunches and a big breakfast. But I had to walk EVERYWHERE so was actively moving 14 hours a day. I had lost 3 lbs when I returned home.

And all these really skinny women were stuffing their face with medium pizzas for dinner, too. They had a GREAT Italian restaurant beside my hotel. Their main specialty was a medium-sized pizza cooked to order. Everybody on every table almost had one, and ate the entire thing then started browsing the dessert menu.

Place was packed. If you didn't arrive early, you weren't getting a seat. Not a single overweight person in the joint.
