Weight loss is 90% food, 10% exercise?

Yeah, 3x body weight and 3 white lights! I need to find the video, it's on IG somewhere.

I've heard way too many people say, I've started working out, why am I not losing? In fact I've gained! Versus, I started eating at a modest deficit, and I've lost weight. I thought it would be harder.

Every person I know who has attempted to lose weight through excercise as gained. Most overestimate calories burned.

I don't trust those calorie burner counters on the treadmills. Wouldn't surprise me if they were all overstated, which would be in the interest of the manufacturer and the interest of the gym.

I found this video of the event he was actually 84 here. This wasn't his final lift because I saw another video where he was doing 450 and jumped around at the end. This one is about 430 pounds so still absolutely amazing when you consider that most young guys at 150lbs couldn't do that and many of his contemporaries are mobility impaired.

but anyone who decides to do 0% exercise and lose their weight based on simple calorie reduction (food) is destined to gain the weight back later.

Absofreakinlutely not. Nope. No way. Many have successfully lost weight with just a calorie reduction and kept it off successfully due to not being able to exercise.

The reason why some gain weight back is due to their lack of knowledge when it comes to maintenance.

Well, "some" is more like 90% gain back their weight but that's for everyone. I'm not so sure it's about a lack of knowledge for most but rather a lack of motivation to keep going for the long haul.

Absolutely, this too. I know, for me regarding past weight loss, I had no idea about maintenance and gained the weight back, which also caused me to give up.
