calorie deficit- fitness can help create a larger calorie deficit- but really working out is to make sure you maintain muscle mass and optimize fat loss in the weight loss journey.
most of us can already tell you this without watching your sherpa friend.0 -

You lose weight in the kitchen. But exercise helps you lose weight faster. It also gives you some extra calories to work with so yu can eat a bit more. Plus, working out helps get your body into better shape.0

An hour of exercise can be nullified by 5 minutes of eating. You tell me.0

5 minutes? I can wipe it out in 2 or less. ;-)
How much a person eats rule. It is by far the easiest way to establish a calorie deficit.0 -
It takes a lot less time and effort to not eat a pizza than it would to burn off the equivalent number of calories by exercise.
As to the video - didn't watch. It looks like one of those "carbz iz da debilz" propaganda videos. No thanks.0 -
1 hour on the rowing machine is wiped out by 1 and a half snickers bars. Weight is lost in the kitchen.0

I know!!!! The fact I was able to do the math without having to look up the calories tells you my position on snickers quite definitely!0 -

Minis have the ingredient proportions all wrong! Too much chocolate vs everything else. Standard Snickers cut into thirds or something would taste better!
(Have we hijacked this into the Snickers thread yet?)
Per the OP: Definitely can save yourself a hell of a lot of gym time by working on willpower in the kitchen!0 -

"Too much chocolate" - that's just crazy talk. In what world does that exist?

'People underestimate calories consumed', 'overestimate calories burned'. We see it all the time, if they would have just rested on those laurels, or expanded on those points.TavistockToad wrote: »Calorie deficit
'It's impossible to keep weight off without exercise' I mean...it's best for overall health and muscle tone, but impossible?
'Carbs cause belly fat' Well crap, all this time I thought it was overeating, but since they only mentioned that once, and whole carbs that create insulin is mentioned continually, it must just be that PB&J I had this morning.
'Control insulin to lose weight' If you're diabetic, it's good. '
'Fat has no effect on insulin. But don't get me started' Wait...I thought this was an informational video?
All in all, watch the part1:05-1:20, and you're good.

Calorie deficit.
If that is the content of the video then I am glad I didn't waste my time with it. I suspected as much from the image which is why I didn't bother. Good to know I was not wrong.0 -
its all about the calories and eating less than we burn.... you can't out run a bad diet is a quote I see alot and its true and another one, weight loss happens in the kitchen.0

If you're burning 7000 calories a week you're probably doing steady state cardio for at least an hour everyday...and you say you're doing that on top of a calorie deficit? Your body is going to eat itself alive including whatever muscle you *might* still have. That and you must be dead tired all the time, bc it's hard to workout that much when you're not eating for energy. I'm skeptical.0 -
It is all calories regardless of your exercise. Exercising may help you burn a few more, but losing weight is 90% in the kitchen!0
-
It's calories.
Adding in exercise only increases the deficit (assuming you're already in one).
Fork putdowns and table pushaways work the best.0 -
Calories. Food.
I could run 10 miles and eat enough pizza to wipe it out right after.0 -
Muscle burns fat. General fitness and proper diet are inseparable. There is no "either or".0
-
It's calories in/out. That's why people who DON'T exercise still lose weight.

Not to stir up any more controversies, but... this is why some of the more strident fitness buffs here think it's unwise for gyms to serve pizza, donuts, cupcakes, and so forth at their facilities. Your typical American doesn't realize how their calorie-burning efforts can be undone in just a few seconds with the wrong food choices. People are so naïve about such things.0

It's like dentists that give out candy. Job security. Ain't no one's fault but mine if I don't know enough to not buy cupcakes at the gym.
Yes. I said, "ain't." I feel sorry for it because no one uses it any more.

Calorie deficit.
This! The title is okay and I was like "yeah, sure, fine" up until he launched into his anti-carb tirade. If he is saying exercise is pointless to weight loss I would argue quantity of carbs are equally as pointless. Actually, calorie for calorie low carb has been shown to be no more effective than low fat. Obviously satiety/health conditions would make a difference, but then you could easily argue exercise is important if you are looking at overall health and adherence rather than just calories.0 -
I can go pole for an hour, come home and have dinner and all the calories I burned during that workout have just been eaten back. If you want to lose weight, what's important is to make sure that you're eating less than you burn. Fitness is important for overall health, but calories are king for weight loss.0

I ate enough to wipe out all but the last three miles of a marathon, yesterday. On top of my calorie allowance. Good thing I'm at a stage of running where I can make it fit without screwing around with my schedule. Just need to eat back a good bit less of my exercise calories for the rest of the work week.
