Cheese stops fat from everything else being absorbed.
Nuts are another strange one: http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/ ... ought.html basically, they come out pretty much how they went in, so not as many calories as thought.
Note: "This study was funded by the Almond Board of California", so may not be entirely trustworthy, but something on TV recently actually duplicated the test and showed chewed nuts and "digested" nuts, and they were very similar under a microscope.
Exercise is the main key I think. If you exercise in a way that convinces your body that it needs to be more athletic, then it will change to suit.
