Secret to losing: What most people do not realize is that weight loss is about 80% diet and 20% exercise,etc. Of course running for an hour will help utilize calories you have ingested but realize at most, 100 calories are burned per mile. Eating less is not the answer, but rather, it is the quality of your food that makes a difference in addition to timing. See a nutritionist who knows functional nutrition.
