I believe Mike is following, IIFYM (if it fits your macros). Which is a very sound way to diet. You just figure out the macro nutrients (carbs, fats and protein) that your body needs then eat whatever you want as long as it meets those criteria. You supplement your micro-nutrients, with multivitamins. Doing this alone would probably be enough to get most people fit (at least ascetically), exercises just makes the process a lot easier. My explanation is sort of a bastardization of the term but it gives you the gist. The problem for most Americans is they not only eat anything but they eat crazy amounts of anything, duh.
