No you didn't
You put on 3 stone because your insulin is elevated from a carbohydrate rich diet (read normal western diet).
It has been proven in animals and sets of twins that activity levels do not determine fat levels.
/sorry for harking on. I really don't want to be that guy.

There are hundreds of different reasons why Baj gained weight.
How can you be so certain?

Sorry I should have opened with
"You could have put on 3 stone..."
But the fact that activity levels do not determine fat levels is still true.

Well the healthy approach adopted by most trainers is that it's about 80% diet and 20% excercise
But yeah, those guys are just making a living out of helping people lose weight.

Everybodys different
I will admit i made it to tubby bastard levels a couple of years ago by eating and drinking too much shit.
My ideal weight when i was 19 was 9 1/2 stone at 5'5"
I trained day in day out and was built like a proverbial (small) shithouse due to doing karate, gymanastics, football, rugby, you name it i've probably put my hand to it.
After starting working in offices i gradually started not exercising and putting it all into my job.
I got married at 13 stone when i was 25. I have now found that when i want to do it, i can drop my weight between 10-12 stone just by training and eating a varied diet, no cutting anything out, or limiting myself, but just by being generally healthy, or unhealty. Just think about ricky hatton. Does he lose all that weight and chunk by not training and just dieting. i hope not. training is what you need to do, and have a balanced diet.
Flame me all you like, but i'm healthy, fit, can still enjoy my food without having to listen to people who consider themselves experts.
