Insofar as prosletyzing, I'm a big fan of pull not push mechanisms. If me blogging about running gets others to think about their fitness, awesome. Otherwise, I feel like, enh, not my place to push this onto others.
Now I'm curious how the control group just using the restrictive diet fares. Still, pretty interesting. :)
Alyse also read a book talking about exercise which differentiated between body looks and fitness. That was helpful to both of us: we want to be very active as we continue getting older, so "go on cruises because we can't walk around anymore" is not for us - doubly so, because we find cruises to be pretty boring. (It'd be totally different if we found them awesome in and of themselves.)
