  If you were never fat, why are you trying to lose 20+ pounds?

    I was 6 ft and 200 lbs. Not obese by any stretch. Trying to lose the dad bod and get back to where I was before I retired from field work.

      I’ll tell you that for most people it’s less about food intake and more about physical exertion.

      I’m not saying eat cake for every meal but as long as you’re burning more calories than you’re taking in that’s all that matters unless you have underlying health conditions. Keep being you but just exert yourself more. Work until failure.

      I say this with love as a person who has struggled with dysmorphia and has taken several steps to overcome it.

        This is absolutely terrible advice. It takes an insane amount of physical activity to burn the calories of a meal, and being in a deficit will make you feel hungry regardless.

        The majority of people need to worry about putting down their fork, not doing more physical activities

        Actively exercising only burns slightly more calories than just sitting around existing does.

        CICO works to an extent, but human bodies are shockingly efficient machines. What you eat is important, why and how you eat are important. Losing weight and keeping it off can be hard.

        Adding exercise is great for a lot of reasons. If you aren’t getting regular exercise you really should. But one of those reasons is certainly not weight loss. You might even gain weight.
