I've talked to doctors... and to trainers, nutritionists, weight loss specialists, holistic medicine practitioners... How many of those have you consulted about weight loss?
I know these things. One might be inclined to assume that I know a bit more firsthand than someone who hasn't lost weight before. Eating *too* little definitely has a negative effect (which I mentioned in my post, in case you hadn't noticed). Tracking your caloric intake to ensure that you're at a certain caloric deficit does *not* have "very limited effects". Wrong. Dead wrong. Any reputable medical weight loss program calculates your BMR and restricts calories. Being obese (which he said she is) means you have enough of a weight problem to warrant a diet PLAN (generally involving calorie restriction, assuming it's not a fad). He's not talking about losing ten pounds. That, absolutely, can be done with exercise. As for whether or not they change their life style... completely irrelevant. People who join a gym to lose weight seldom change their lifestyle either. So, sorry... but nope. Exercise is important for health, but not the primary way to lose a large amount of weight. The amount of calories burned in comparison to the amount of calories that most obese Americans consume is ridiculous. You have to burn 3500 calories to lose a single pound. Assuming she's... 50 pounds overweight, that's 175,000 calories to burn. Assuming she can burn 1000 calories per hour (which... is a fucking lot) it will take her 175 hours of working out to lose that 50 pounds if she never consumes more calories than her body is burning in a day. Obviously, if she was burning everything she ate, she wouldn't be obese. Sorry fella, but your logic is majorly flawed. People who rely on physical activity to lose large amounts of weight almost always get frustrated, disappointed, discouraged, and ultimately give up. Those are the people that fitness clubs rely on. The ones who join with great intentions, work their asses off, make no progress, and quit. I see it happening every single day at the gym. All the New Years resolutioners are falling off like fleas right now. They're sick of putting forth the effort to lose and regain the same 5 fucking pounds every other week.
As for my muscle gain... wrong again. I didn't lose any muscle by not moving... I'd been sedentary my entire life. I gained muscle through proper nutrition and dedication. Again, eat for losses, train for gains.
Actually, scratch that. I dunno what I'm talking about. You're absolutely right. You've clearly been there and done that, what with you never having been overweight and all
Kudos to you, sir.
