You know what, the usage of "but" is another one of those erroneous zones 
And yes, he's still right, metabolism shouldn't be used as an excuse.
In the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal. If we decide to make the lifestyle changes, a slower metabolism shouldn't stop that plan. Taking 3 or 5 years to reach goal instead of 3 or 5 months is not a big deal, if the change is for life. Looking back at it after 20 or 30 years, we'd be happy we didn't quite for any excuse.
His "tone" is a bit harsher than Dyer, but it is a useful technique to wake someone up. Many people nowdays use psychological mumbo jumbo they memorized from self-help books, and rely on that instead of (not with) basic common sense.
