I didn’t say exercise was bad. I said exercise wasn’t required to reduce body fat, and it’s not.
I plan on starting a regular exercise regime when I get down to a specific weight (which, if things keep going as expected should be in Jan/Feb time frame). My problem in the past (as it is with many overweight people) is that I was carrying so much excess body fat, that it made any type of meaningful exercise all but impossible.
The “typical” fat person doesn’t burn enough calories during exercise to cause any meaningful weight loss. On the other hand, it can be so physically and mentally stressful that it becomes something they want to avoid—thus causing them to sabotage the entire weight loss program.
Telling someone that is very overweight to “just exercise more” is not good advice, not for that person.
I never said that..except to the pear/apple people.
Diet is 75% of weight loss and what I mean by diet is eating right..I hate fad diets.
If you are not eating right you can work out 3 hours in the gym every day and it is all for not.
And I disagree that excercise should not be a part of weight loss even with super obese people. Obese people should not run(bad for heart/joints) until they lose weight but ellipticals and weight training is fine and it helps keeps stress down and releases good endorphines creating a sense of euphoria.
