Surely there is someone who can do that, but there aren't many people who can.
Yes to the first sentence, but
nononononononono to the second. Skim milk has 21g of sugar per serving, and half and half has 1g. The extra fat in half and half is not that much (a gram or two) but almost no sugar. Sugar is way more a hindrance to losing weight than fat is. A diet doctor once advised me that for weight loss (not maintenance, LOSS), don't consume things that have more than 3g of sugar, or 7g of fat.
Weather is the kick in the (in my case, proverbial) balls for running. If it's too hot, cold, humid, or rainy, it's so hard for me to get my ass outside. But eating carefully (in a way that you can sustain it forever) is much more important than exercise for weight-loss purposes.
Exactement.

1. I do eat vegetables. But I eat carbs sparingly.
2. I have heard that. But I tried it over the winter. I ate all kinds of fatty stuff. I gained 20 lbs. Big fat fatty.
3. Maybe that's true for you, but I have to exercise.
