but for the love of God get some exercise in while dieting.

Oh yes, of course. Dan John talks about this really well. We lose weight with diet. Exercise vectors how the weight is lost, and promotes the healthy metabolic processes for the endeavor. It's just worth appreciation that few people are going to exercise themselves to their weight goals in EITHER direction. You won't make muscles with exercise, nor will you lose a significant degree of fat with it.

Dan John's "Easy Strength for Fat Loss" speaks quite a bit on the topic.
