    As for me, I see “wight loss” and I immediately think of barrow wights.

    I. Just. Can’t. Help. Myself. 🙃

    Oh ok - Ive never done that - so then you don't see their posts on the forum?

    I believe you see that they posted, but not the content of their post. Unless somebody else quotes them.

    the “not a secret” for weight loss is just being in a calorie deficit. I don’t understand how that isn’t about 90% of it. Maybe 9% more is exercising and the remaining 1% a mixed bag of about 50 different debatable topics. Did I get that wrong? Cause I don’t know anyone who didn’t follow that recipe and lost weight. You can’t out train a bad diet.

    yes, CICO

    so I would say activity level - ie CO - is more significant than 9%

    I'm not sure about 'out training a bad diet' - but you can increase your activity/exercise level and therefore be able to also eat more than if you had not done so.

    I’m only talking about the losing weight part of it. Considering the OP was talking about “secret to losing weight”. Forget the exercise. At the end of the day (for example) you consume 2,000 calories and your expected BMR is 2500 calories, you will lose weight. Hence the calorie deficit. No required exercise.

    Teejay, I'm not following what you are saying.

    Increasing CO - ie doing more excercise/activity - IS in the 'losing weight part of it'

    Sure, you can lose weight without excercising, it isnt required - but that doesn't mean excercising/increasing activity isnt part of the deal for most people or that the CO part of the equation is only of 9% importance.
