Logically that makes sense. I did not lose 120# that way, but if it works for others, cool. I chose to target a different goal than weight loss, and weight loss came along as a side effect. My goal was to increase my fitness, which is defined as "work capacity across broad time and modal domains." (CrossFit definition). Choosing fitness as a goal was a forcing function that ensured that my HDL, triglycerides, A1C, fasting glucose, body fat %, bone density, lean muscle mass, and all the other important stuff all also went in the correct directions.
